Groups A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2,
AEx nC IIC T4 and Ex nC IIC T4 hazardous locations; and
nonhazardous locations only. Follow these guidelines if you are
installing the cFP-PWM-520 in a potentially explosive
environment. Failing to follow these guidelines may result in
serious injury or death.
Caution
Make sure that all products you use in hazardous
locations are certified for such use. Refer to the product

For Zone 2 applications, install a protection
device across the external power supply and the COM
terminal. The device must prevent the external power
supply voltage from exceeding 42 V if there is a transient
overvoltage condition.
