Hazardous Environment for Transducers
WARNING
HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT
Risk of explosive atmosphere.
Take precautionary measures to avoid electrostatic potential,
especially on plastic components.
Installations and maintenance tasks performed in potentially hazardous areas must be
performed only after the area has been verified to be free of hazardous materials, atmospheres,
and conditions.
The following situations could cause a spark enough to ignite an explosion:
l
Electrostatic discharge from non-conductive components
l
Removal or placement of an energized connection.
Lithium Batteries
WARNING
Do not use a device with a damaged battery. Using a damaged
battery may further damage the device, cause it to fail, or in
hazardous locations cause other unintended consequences.
Lithium batteries are volatile. When handling and storing lithium metal batteries, follow these
precautions:
l
Store and handle lithium metal batteries to avoid contact with other lithium batteries.
l
Don't place lithium metal batteries on metal work surfaces.
l
Avoid exposing lithium metal batteries to extreme temperatures.
l
If you store an inactive Ranger Pro sensor, remove the battery.
l
Dispose of depleted or defective batteries in keeping with applicable statutes and
regulations as well as site-specific safety requirements.
The lithium batteries will typically last up to five years. Use the Ranger Pro software or your
wireless network vendor's system status application to monitor battery performance and
replace batteries as needed.
