Class I, Division 2 Guidelines

Chapter 2: Installing the PowerStation

Selecting a Location

If you purchased a Class I, Division 2-compliant PowerStation, it is suitable for use in Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous locations. You must follow these guidelines in order to maintain a safe operating environment.

•When performing field wiring, always use copper wire with 60C or 60/75C insulation and a tightening torque of 7.0lbs/in (0.79 N-m).

•Substitution of components can impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.

•The PA PowerStation is intended to use a branch circuit protection rated 20 Amps or less.

•Make sure that the PA PowerStation’s “ON/OFF” switch is secured in the “ON” position using the supplied bracket.

	Explosion Hazard!
	• Do not connect or disconnect cables unless the power has been
	switched off, or the area is known to be non-hazardous. Keyboard,
WARNING!	mouse, and USB ports are for system setup and diagnostics only and
	are not intended for permanent connection.
	• Class I, Division 2 approval requires nonincendive field wiring for
	Class I, Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous locations only. With a
	temperature code of T5.
	• Class I, Division 2 approval requires power switch restraints in
	hazardous environments.
