3.4.1 Using HMT370EX Series transmitters in hazardous
locations
Protected installation using galvanic isolators or Zener barriers is
mandatory in a hazardous environment.
WARNING!
In hazardous environments, always connect the transmitters via galvanic isolators or Zener
barriers. A galvanic isolator or Zener barrier must also be used when the transmitter and probe
body are in a safe area, but the probe head is installed in a hazardous environment. For wiring
information, see the galvanic isolator and Zener barrier wiring diagrams included in this
document.
HMT370EX does not include a galvanic isolator or a Zener barrier. They can be ordered as
optional accessories from Vaisala.

hazardous locations as specified by the product classification. The personnel
installing, using, or maintaining HMT370EX transmitters are responsible for
determining the appropriate protection concept for the specific application
HMT370EX is used in, and that the hazardous area classification of the device
meets the requirements of the application.
WARNING!
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by Vaisala, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
