AXRC are products which have been 
certiedasexplosionprooftypeinstruments.
Strict limitations are applied to the structures, 
installation locations, external wiring work, 
maintenance and repairs, etc. of these 
instruments.Sufcientcaremustbetaken,
as any violation of the limitations may cause 
dangerous situations.  
Be sure to read this chapter before handling the 
instruments.  
For explosion proof type instrument, the 
description in this chapter is prior to other 
description in this user's manual. 
ForTIISameprooftypeinstruments,besure
to read “INSTALLATION AND OPERATING 
PRECAUTIONS FOR TIIS FLAMEPROOF 
EQUIPMENT” at the end of this manual.
WARNING
 
The terminal box cover and display cover is 
locked by special screw. In case of opening 
the cover, please use the hexagonal wrench 
(nominal size 3). 
The covers of explosion proof type products are 
locked. Use this hexagonal wrench to open and 
close the cover. Before opening the cover, be 
suretocheckthatthepowerofowmeterhas
been turned off. Once the cover is closed, be 
sure to re-lock the product. 
Be sure to lock the cover with the special screw
