WARNING

 When wiring an intrinsically safe sensor to the register, follow the following precautions:

When placing an intrinsically safe sensor in Zone 1 or Zone 2 area, use certified intrinsically safe barrier suitable for the installation.

Use installation methods in accordance with IEC 60079-14 and its regional equivalents.

If available, follow sensor manufacturer instructions when selecting the barrier.

If you must locate the barrier in Zone 1 or Zone 2, use appropriately certified enclosure to house the barrier.

Ensure that the addition of the barrier does not affect the functional performance of the sensor.
