5) Specific Conditions for Safe Use
The stainless steel lift flap is not earthed and may generate
an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charges. It has a max
capacitance of 6.33pF according to CSA C22.2 NO. 60079-0
/ UL 60079-0:2017, clause 7.5 or EN/IEC60079-0, clause 7.5.
Equipment is permitted to be wall mounted only in vertical
position. The enclosure base is permitted in two mounting
positions, with the double entry lowermost or uppermost.

7) Location and Mounting
The location of the call point should enable ease of access
for operation and testing. The unit should be mounted using
the 4 off fixing holes which will accept up to M5 sized fixings.
They should only be fixed to services that can carry the
weight of the unit.
To gain access to the mounting holes in the base the front
cover must be removed. See Section 8.
