1.5 Warnings and Precautions
Before you begin the process to replace the SoM, please read all of the following
warnings and cautions to reduce the risk of injury, equipment damage, or malfunction.
1.5.1 Hazardous Locations
The Ultrasonic Meter Control (UMC) assembly is approved for use in an explosive

to the installation of the SoM replacement.
To maintain equipment safety, it is required to keep the front cover of the enclosure
bolted tightly while power is applied when operating in a hazardous location. The
closing and sealing of the enclosure is the key to maintaining explosion protection. It is
imperative that servicing be performed by a qualified individual who is familiar with
associated risks involved with the operation and maintenance of electrical equipment
in hazardous (classified) locations. This individual must have knowledge of local and
national electrical codes, in addition to ordinances concerned with hazardous location
