WARNING
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Installation of this transmitter in an explosive environment must be in accordance with the
appropriate local, national, and international standards, codes, and practices. Please review the
approvals section of this guide for any restrictions associated with a safe installation.
 Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, ensure the
instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive
field wiring practices.
 In an Explosion-Proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter covers when
power is applied to the unit.
 Use appropriately rated Ex adaptors, blanking elements, or glands during installation.
 Keep process insulation at least 1 inch [25 mm] from transmitter connection.
Process leaks may cause harm or result in death.
 Install and tighten process connectors before applying pressure.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
 Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can
cause electrical shock.
Conduit/cable entries
 Unless marked, the conduit/cable entries in the transmitter housing use a
1
/2-14 NPT thread
form. Entries marked "M20" are M20 x 1.5 thread form. On devices with multiple conduit
entries, all entries will have the same thread form. Only use plugs, adapters, glands, or
conduit with a compatible thread form when closing these entries.
 When installing in a hazardous location, use only appropriately listed or Ex certified plugs,
adapters, or glands in cable/conduit entries.
