| WARNING Protected installation using galvanic isolators or Zener barriers is mandatory in a hazardous environment. |
In hazardous environments, always connect the transmitters via galvanic isolators or Zener barriers. A galvanic isolator or Zener barrier must also be used when the transmitter and probe body are in a safe area, but the probe head is installed in a hazardous environment. For wiring information, see the galvanic isolator and Zener barrier wiring diagrams included in this document.
| WARNING HMT370EX series transmitters have been designed for use in hazardous locations as specified by the product classification. The personnel installing, using, or maintaining HMT370EX transmitters are responsible for determining the appropriate protection concept for the specific application HMT370EX is used in, and that the hazardous area classification of the device meets the requirements of the application. |
| WARNING If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by Vaisala, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. |
