Section 4 of the manual contains a checklist which example ac sensors, transmitters and I/P converters. The barriers also highlights all the important safety factors that should be considered enable maintenance work or calibration to be carried out without when using MTL700 and 700P Series barriers to interface between further precautions, and they permit non-hazardous (safe) area non-hazardous (safe) and hazardous areas. All users should read this equipment to be worked on safely as and when necessary, with the section, and particularly the checklist, before commencing work on the minimum of restriction. barrier installation. A range of five polycarbonate enclosures is available to provide For further applicational information concerning the theory and use of environmental protection for barriers where required, and a Type N shunt-diode safety barriers, users are recommended to read the approved steel enclosure also is available to permit the barriers to be following MTL publications: installed in Zone 2 areas. Enclosures and other accessories are fully described in this manual.
