    Before installing and using the HMP260 transmitter study carefully Appendix 2: SAFETY SUMMARY. The HMP260 series transmitters are associated electrical apparatuses. This means that the housing of the transmitter is mounted into a safe area and the sensor head and its cable can go to a potentially explosive environment (hazardous area).
