SAFETY MESSAGES Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to
ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Please refer to
the following safety messages before performing any operation in this section.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury:
• Do not remove the transmitter cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit
is alive.
• Before connecting a HART-based communicator in an explosive atmosphere,
make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with
intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
• Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the
appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
• Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof
requirements.
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury:
• Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.
