Conduit seals and Hazardous Location Installations

WARNING

Transmitters installed as explosionproof in a Class I, Division 1, Group A Hazardous (Classified) Location in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70, the US National Electrical Code (NEC), require a “LISTED” explosionproof seal to be installed in the conduit, within 18 inches of the transmitter.

Crouse-Hinds® type EYS/EYD or EYSX/EYDX are examples of “LISTED” explosionproof seals that meets this requirement.

Transmitters installed as explosionproof in a Class I, Division 1, Group B, C or D Hazardous (Classified) Locations do not require an explosionproof seal to be installed in the conduit.

NOTE: Installation should conform to all national and local electrical code requirements.

When installed as explosionproof in a Division 1 Hazardous Location, keep covers tight while the transmitter is energized. Disconnect power to the transmitter in the non-hazardous area prior to removing end caps for service.

When installed as nonincendive equipment in a Division 2 Hazardous Location, disconnect power to the transmitter in the non-hazardous area, or determine that the location is non-hazardous prior to disconnecting or connecting the transmitter wires.
