TransNET OEM Integration Guide
05-3946A01, Rev. C
The transceiver is not acceptable as a stand-alone unit for use in the hazardous loca-
tions described above. It must either be mounted within another piece of equipment
which is certified for hazardous locations, or installed within guidelines, or conditions
of approval, as set forth by the approving agencies. These conditions of approval are
as follows:
1. The transceiver must be mounted within a separate enclosure which is suitable for
the intended application.
2. The coaxial antenna cable, power input cable and interface cables must be routed
through conduit in accordance with Division 2 wiring methods as specified in the
National Electrical Code, Article 501.4(B).
3. The transceiver must be used within its Recognized “Ratings”.
4. Installation, operation and maintenance of the transceiver should be in accordance
with the transceiver's installation manual, and the National Electrical Code.
5. Tampering or replacement with non-factory components may adversely affect the
safe use of the transceiver in hazardous locations, and may void the approval.
6. A power connector with screw-type retaining screws as supplied by GE MDS
must be used.
When installed in a Class I, Div. 2, Groups A, B, C or D hazardous location, observe
the following:
WARNING — EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been
switched off or the area is know to be non-hazardous.
Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class 1, Division 2.
Refer to Articles 500 through 502 of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) for fur-
ther information on hazardous locations and approved Division 2 wiring methods.
