vapors or gases, even under fault conditions. Various circuits in the Maxum analyzer use this
form of protection, including the IS TCD.
WARNING
Observe Intrinsic Safety practices
To preserve the intrinsically safe design protection of the IS TCD, certain measures are
required. Failure to adhere to all requirements for use of the IS TCD in the Maxum II could
violate the safety protections of the analyzer and cause equipment damage or serious injury.
See the Maxum II Explosion Protection Safety Standards Manual (A5E02220442001) (

support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/42017542/maxum-edition-ii%3A-explosion-
protection-safety-standards?lc=en-WW&pnid=17741
) for more information on the safe use
of intrinsically safe circuitry in the Maxum II.
