Hazardous Area Classifications and Special Instructions for “Safe
Use” and Installations in Hazardous Locations
Certain nameplates may carry more than one approval, and each approval may have unique installation/wiring
requirements and/or conditions of “safe use”. These special instructions for “safe use” are in addition to, and may
override, the standard installation procedures. Special instructions are listed by approval.
Note
This information supplements the nameplate markings affixed to the product and the DLC3020f quick start guide (D103470X012)
and instruction manual (D103434X012
Always refer to the nameplate itself to identify the appropriate certification.
WARNING
Failure to follow these conditions of “safe use” could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, or
area re‐classification.
