The transceiver is not acceptable as a stand-alone unit for use in hazardous locations. It must
either be mounted within another piece of equipment which is certified for hazardous
locations, or installed within guidelines, or conditions of approval set forth below:
1. The transceiver must be mounted within a separate enclosure which is suitable for the
intended application.
2. The antenna feedline, DC power cable and interface cable must be routed through
conduit in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
3. Installation, operation and maintenance of the transceiver should be in accordance
with the transceiver's manual, and applicable electrical codes.
4. Tampering or replacement with non-factory components may adversely affect the safe
use of the transceiver in hazardous locations, and may void the approval.
5. A power connector with screw-type retaining screws as supplied by the manufacturer
must be used.
