Power Switch

The amount of input power required by systems with a PS-B unit classifies the power
switch as an incendive device because the voltage and current across the
make/break component are capable of generating a spark.

If using an ordinary power switch, hazardous location regulations require the power
switch be located in an area specified as non-hazardous.

However, limits in cable length between the workstation and the power switch may
apply. Otherwise the switch must be compliant with Class I, Division 1 requirements
(intrinsically safe). These switches are built in a manner that prevents the possibility
of a spark when contact is made or broken.

Use suitable UL listed and/or CSA Certified Class I, Division 1 switches in hazardous
locations. These switches are available from a wide number of sources. It is the
responsibility to ensure you select a power switch that conforms to the hazardous
location rating for the installation.
