INTRINSIC SAFETY
Intrinsically safe equipment that is installed improperly or connected to non-intrinsically safe equipment
will create a hazardous condition and can cause fire, explosion, or electric shock. Follow local
regulations and the following safety requirements.
• Only models with model number XM_D00, XM_N_ _, or XM_E_ _, utilizing the air-driven alternator
are approved for installation in a Hazardous (explosive atmosphere) Location - see Approvals, 11.
Only the models stated above meet all local safety fire codes including NFPA 33, NEC 500 and 516,
and OSHA 1910.107. To help prevent fire and explosion:
- Do not install equipment approved only for a non-hazardous location in a hazardous location.
See model ID label for intrinsic safety rating of your model.
- Do not substitute system components as this may impair intrinsic safety.
• Equipment that comes in contact with the intrinsically safe terminals must be rated for Intrinsic
Safety. This includes DC voltage meters, ohmmeters, cables, and connections. Remove the unit
from the hazardous area when troubleshooting.
• Do not connect, download, or remove USB device unless unit is removed from the hazardous
(explosive atmosphere) location.
• If explosion-proof heaters are used, ensure wiring, wiring connections, switches, and electrical
distribution panel all meet flame-proof (explosion-proof) requirements.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like
just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.
• Engage trigger lock when not dispensing.
• Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
• Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
• Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or
•
servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch, cut or amputate fingers and other body parts.
• Keep clear of moving parts.
• Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.
• Equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing equipment, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure and disconnect all power sources.
