IntelliPoint RF RML Series Installation Section 2: Installation Unpacking Carefully remove the contents of the shipping carton and check each item against the packing list before destroying any packing material. If there is any shortage or damage report it to the factory immediately. - Page 14 IntelliPoint RF RML Series Installation Mounting and Installation Guidelines (continued) WARNING: IntelliPoint RF equipment is rated explosion-proof. When installing in areas where explosion is a concern [rated “potentially hazardous” (EU) or “hazardous classified” (USA)] observe all national and local regulations as well as specifications in the certificate.
- Page 15 IntelliPoint RF RML Series Installation Mounting and Installation Guidelines (continued) Mount the sensing element as to avoid enhancing electrostatic discharge from the process medium, as is good practice with any thermowell, displacer, or sampler. This includes correct bonding to the tank or silo wall.

IntelliPoint RF RML Series Calibration Section 3: Calibration WARNING: Before removing the explosion-proof housing cover in a potentially hazardous area, make certain that the area is safe. When calibration is complete, the cover must be replaced. Each conduit from the explosion-proof case must be equipped with an approved seal fitting. - Page 24 IntelliPoint RF RML Series Calibration 3.3.1 Quick Calibration Quick Calibration method is ONLY recommended for horizontally mounted, bare metal, Cote-Shield sensing elements. In all cases it is necessary to have material level below the probe (sensing element in air). Red LED OFF = relay energized = normal condition 1.
