Informations sur l'utilisation de cet équipement en environnements dangereux:
Les produits marqués "Class I, Div 2, GP A, B, C, D" ne conviennent qu'à une utilisation en
environnements de Classe I Division 2 Groupes A, B, C, D dangereux et non dangereux. Chaque
produit est livré avec des marquages sur sa plaque d'identification qui indiquent le code de
température pour les environnements dangereux. Lorsque plusieurs produits sont combinés dans un
système, le code de température le plus défavorable (code de température le plus faible) peut être
utilisé pour déterminer le code de température global du système. Les combinaisons d'équipements
dans le système sont sujettes à inspection par les autorités locales qualifiées au moment de
l'installation.
