3 Safety instructions3.4 Device-specific hazardsXP-503 12/2014 MN048014-EN www.eaton.com 153.4 Device-specific hazardsDangerExplosion hazardDeath, serious injury, and property damage may occur if the device is being used ina potentially explosive (classified) location and, during operation, an electrical plugconnection is disconnected or the device is exposed to dangerous impacts or othertypes of dangerous mechanical shock. Use the device in the following environments only:- Non-hazardous (non-explosive) areas Potentially explosive atmosphere, Zone 22:The ground resistance of accessible metal parts must be less than 109 ohms. When used in a potentially explosive atmosphere, Zone 22, the environment hasto be designed to avoid any bunch discharge. Make sure that the device is not exposed to dangerous impacts and other typesof dangerous mechanical shock. De-energize the device before disconnecting plug connections.WARNINGLive parts inside the deviceWhen the device is open, there will be an electric shock hazard if live parts aretouched. Do not open the device if it is not de-energized.WARNINGEquipotential bonding currentsLarge transient currents between the protective circuits of different devices mayresult in fire or in malfunctions due to signal interference. If necessary, route an equipotential bonding conductor, with a cross-sectionalarea that is several times larger than that of the cable shielding, parallel to thecable.
