Using the service port
The service port (see Figure 10 (page 37)) must only be used in a safe area. Either remove the
transmitter from the hazardous area or ensure that a safe work procedure has been
implemented in the hazardous area. Only use the Vaisala accessory PC connection cable with
the service port.
Maintenance
The probe (includes probe body and head) can be detached and replaced by the user. The
probe head filter (see Figure 9 (page 34)) is also user-replaceable. For other maintenance
requirements, contact Vaisala.
The probe can be detached and changed when HMT370EX is
powered. Any other live maintenance, including changing the probe head filter,
is not allowed.
CAUTION!

3.5.1 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.
