produce explosive or ignitable mixtures.
Division defines the probability of hazardous material being present
in an ignitable concentration in the surrounding atmosphere.
Division 2 locations are locations that are presumed to be hazardous
only in an abnormal situation.
Group defines the hazardous material in the surrounding
atmosphere. Groups A to D are:
o Group A: Atmosphere containing acetylene.
o Group B: Atmosphere containing hydrogen, gases, or vapors of
equivalent nature.
o Group C: Atmosphere containing ethylene, gases, or vapors of
equivalent nature.
o Group D: Atmosphere containing propane, gases, or vapors of

For the ROC800 to be approved for hazardous locations, it must be
installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC)
guidelines or other applicable codes.
When working on units located in a hazardous area (where explosive
gases may be present), make sure the area is in a non-hazardous state
before performing procedures. Performing these procedures in a
hazardous area could result in personal injury or property damage.
