Electrical Connections And Conduit Entry; Current Signal; Maximum Power; Intrinsic Safety Entity Parameters - GE 4700E Instruction Manual

5. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS and CONDUIT ENTRY

Comply with current national and local regulations for electrical installation work.

Comply with national and local explosive atmosphere regulations.

 Before carrying out any work on the device, power off the instrument or make sure that the local
conditions in the potentially explosive atmosphere permit the safe opening of the cover.
Before switching on or after doing any work on the device, always tighten the cover (C) with a seal (J) in

good condition and put back the safety screw (V).
The Model 4000 I/P Converter must be installed and put into service in conformance with EN/IEC 60079-14,
EN/IEC 61241-14 and / or national and local regulations applicable for explosive atmospheres.

5.1. Current signal
