accomplished under the direction of the facilities engineer
and the safety engineer. Listed below are some other
important safety instructions and precautions you should
follow:

installing or operating this equipment.
To avoid electrical shock hazards, do not connect
wires when power is applied. Failure to observe this
warning may lead to serious injury or death.
Never alter the unit in any manner. Safety in
hazardous locations may be endangered if additional
openings or other alterations are made in units
specifically designed for use in these locations.
Do not connect this beacon to the system when
power is on.
After installation, ensure that all threaded joints are
properly tightened.
Keep the unit tightly closed when in operation.
After installation, test the beacon system to ensure
that it is operating properly.
After testing is complete, provide a copy of this
instruction sheet to all personnel.
Brass inserts have the potential to store charge
when they are not plugged. Consideration should be
taken to prevent these from becoming a sparking
hazard.

The purchaser should make the manufacturer aware
of any external effects or aggressive substances to
which the equipment may be exposed.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions
may result in property damage, serious injury, or death to
you or others.
With respect to the potential electrostatic charging hazard
as mentioned in the certificate "Specific Conditions of
Use," under normal conditions of use, these devices
are for fixed installations and not generally in contact
with people. The risk of ignition is low. In addition,
maintenance, cleaning, and extreme environmental
factors (e.g., high velocity dust-laden atmospheres or
high-pressure steam) should be taken into account by
the end user using local Explosive Atmosphere (Ex)
Electrical installation design, selection, inspection, and
maintenance Codes and Standards. Cleaning of the
devices should be done only with a damp cloth.
