WARNING
Unprotected cable ends
Risk of explosion through unprotected cable ends in hazardous areas.
• Protect unused cable ends in accordance with IEC/EN60079-14.
WARNING
Improper laying of shielded cables
Risk of explosion through compensating currents between hazardous area and the

• Shielded cables that cross into hazardous areas should be grounded only at one end.
• If grounding is required at both ends, use an equipotential bonding conductor.
WARNING
Connecting or disconnecting device in energized state
Risk of explosion in hazardous areas.
