Note 3. Maintenance and Repair
•  The instrument modication or parts 
replacement by other than authorized 
representative of Yokogawa Electric 
Corporation is prohibited and will void IECEx 
Intrinsically safe Certication.
WARNING
The instrument modication or parts replacement 
by other than an authorized Representative of 
Yokogawa Electric Corporation is prohibited and 
will void the certication.
Note 4. Battery Pack
•  Use only YOKOGAWA battery pack 
F9915MA or F9915NS.
Note 5. Special conditions for Safe Use
•  In case the enclosure of the Pressure 
Transmitter is made of aluminum, if it 
is mounted in an area where the use of 
apparatus of equipment protection level Ga 
is required, it must be installed such, that, 
even in the event of rare incidents, ignition 
sources due to impact and friction sparks are 
excluded.
•  For applications in explosive atmospheres 
caused by gases, vapors or mists and 
mounted in an area where the use of 
apparatus of equipment protection level Ga 
is required, electrostatic charges on the non-
metallic parts of the Pressure Transmitter 
shall be avoided.
WARNING
•  Potential electrostatic charging hazard - 
secure distance of 100mm from antenna. 
•  Take care not to generate mechanical 
sparking when access to the instrument and 
peripheral devices in a hazardous location.
