Cable Connections

Division 2 hazardous location regulations require that all cable connections be
provided with adequate strain relief and positive interlock. Use only non-incendive
USB devices as USB connections do not provide adequate strain relief to allow the
use of the Industrial Personal Computer’s USB connections (see page 99). Never
connect or disconnect a cable while power is applied at either end of the cable. All
communication cables should include a chassis ground shield. This shield should
include both copper braid and aluminum foil. The D-sub style connector housing
must be a metal conductive type (e.g., molded zinc) and the ground shield braid
must be terminated directly to the connector housing. Do not use a shield drain wire.

The outer diameter of the cable must be suited to the inner diameter of the cable
connector strain relief so that a reliable degree of strain relief is maintained. Always
secure the D-Sub connectors to the workstation-mating connectors via the two
screws located on both sides.

Operation and Maintenance

The systems have been designed for compliance with relevant spark ignition tests.

NOTE: IP65 are not part of UL certification for hazardous locations.
