If a mains plug is to be attached to the end of the original cordage, it must comply with
the relevant, nationally recognized specifications and/or standards for detachable mains
plugs for the stated power requirements of this equipment. If the unit is to be operated in
a hazardous location, the plug must be of the grounded and locking type.
Hazardous location operation: For use in Class I, Div 2 locations, AC power connection
