1. Precautions and Preparation

These instructions are not designed to imply or replace any operating or safety rules.

It is the responsibility of the installer to understand and follow all company safety practices.

WARNING In order to comply with hazardous classification, only those items

specifically listed can be used and must be used only as shown. Substitution of components
may affect intrinsic safety.

WARNING Installation shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable code of

practice by suitably-trained personnel.

WARNING Repair of this equipment shall be carried out in accordance with the

applicable code of practice.

WARNING Any machining, drilling, and/or sanding related to the installation of this

system should be pre-approved by the authorized department before work is started.

WARNING If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances,

then it is the responsibility of the user to take suitable precautions that prevent it from being
adversely affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is not compromised.

WARNING RF Device: Unit cannot be painted or coated with any material. Coating can

adversely affect the performance of the device. Unit shall be masked appropriately if post
installation coating is required.

WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD: The equipment temperature Class is T4 and only

certified for use in ambient temperatures. Product is rated from -40C to +55C and should not
be used outside this range in an explosive environment.

WARNING POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD: Under certain extreme

circumstances, the non-metallic parts incorporated in the enclosure of this equipment may
generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge. Therefore the equipment shall not be
installed in a location where the external conditions are conducive to the build-up of electrostatic
charge on such surfaces. This is particularly important if the equipment is installed in a zone 0
location.

WARNING POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD: Suitable for hose down

cleaning only. Do not clean unit with a dry cloth. Static can be generated when two dry parts are

rubbed together.

WARNING DO NOT OPEN WHEN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE IS PRESENT. Battery

replacement shall be done in an area known to be non-hazardous. Use only replaceable battery
pack IONX model 303382 (19 mAH) or 303406 (76 mAH). See battery replacement procedure in
Appendix F.

WARNING Products contain Primary Lithium batteries. Proper disposal procedures are

required at end of life conditions. Use local regulatory disposal method for lithium Thionyl
chloride batteries. For example, disposal procedure 49 CFR 173.185 or Directive 2006/66/CE.

1) Avertissements

Ces instructions ne sont pas conçues pour impliquer ou remplacer des règles d'utilisation ou de sécurité.

Il est de la responsabilité de l'installateur de comprendre et de suivre toutes les pratiques de sécurité de l'entreprise.

Instructions complètes pour utiliser CMU en français en attente.

AVERTISSEMENT Afin de se conformer à la classification des matières dangereuses,

seuls les éléments spécifiquement énumérés peuvent être utilisés et doivent être utilisés uniquement
comme indiqué. La substitution de composants peut affecter la sécurité intrinsèque.

AVERTISSEMENT L'installation doit être effectuée conformément au code de pratique

applicable par du personnel dûment formé.

AVERTISSEMENT La réparation de cet équipement doit être effectuée conformément au

code de pratique applicable.

AVERTISSEMENT Tout usinage, perçage et / ou ponçage lié à l'installation de ce système

doit être préalablement approuvé par le service autorisé avant le début des travaux.

AVERTISSEMENT Si l'équipement est susceptible d'entrer en contact avec des substances

agressives, il est de la responsabilité de l'utilisateur de prendre les précautions appropriées qui empêchent
qu'il soit affecté de manière négative, garantissant ainsi que le type de protection n'est pas compromis.

ATTENTION Dispositif RF: L'unité ne peut être peinte ou revêtue d'aucun matériau. Le

revêtement peut nuire aux performances de l'appareil. L'unité doit être masquée de manière appropriée si
un revêtement post-installation est requis.

ATTENTION DANGER D'EXPLOSION: La classe de température de l'équipement est T4 et

seulement certifiée pour une utilisation à des températures ambiantes. Le produit est évalué de -40C à +
55C et ne doit pas être utilisé en dehors de cette plage dans un environnement explosif.

ATTENTION DANGER D'EXPLOSION: L'installation doit être effectuée conformément au code

de pratique en vigueur par du personnel qualifié.

ATTENTION DANGER DE CHARGE ÉLECTROSTATIQUE POTENTIEL: Dans certaines

circonstances extrêmes, les pièces non métalliques incorporées dans l'enveloppe de cet équipement
peuvent générer un niveau de charge électrostatique capable d'amorçage. Par conséquent, l'équipement
ne doit pas être installé dans un endroit où les conditions externes favorisent l'accumulation de charges
électrostatiques sur ces surfaces. Ceci est particulièrement important si l'équipement est installé dans un

emplacement de la zone 0.

ATTENTION DANGER DE CHARGE ÉLECTROSTATIQUE POTENTIEL: Convient uniquement au

nettoyage par tuyau. Ne nettoyez pas l'appareil avec un chiffon sec. Statique peut être généré lorsque deux
parties sèches sont frottées ensemble.

ATTENTION NE PAS OUVRIR LORSQU'UNE ATMOSPHÈRE EXPLOSIVE EST PRÉSENTE. Le

remplacement de la batterie doit être effectué dans une zone connue comme non dangereuse. Utilisez
uniquement une batterie remplaçable IONX modèle 303382 (19 mAH) ou 303406 (76 mAH). Voir la procédure

de remplacement de la batterie à l'annexe F.

ATTENTION Les produits contiennent des batteries au lithium primaire. Des procédures

d'élimination appropriées sont requises en fin de vie. Utiliser une méthode d'élimination réglementaire
locale pour les piles au lithium-chlorure de thionyle. Par exemple, procédure d'élimination 49 CFR 173.185
ou Directive 2006/66/CE.
