[terms of use]
Risk of ignition by shock or friction
Aluminum alloy is included in the structural material of the enclosure.
Since the mass fraction of the aluminum alloy is more than the predetermined value, there is a potential risk of ignition. Do not drop the product or subject it to excessive shock or friction.
Risk of electrostatic charge
Non-metallic materials are included in the surface of the enclosure.
To avoid the risk of ignition, take measures to prevent electrostatic charge.

[Note]
This table summarizes the classification of flammable gases and vapors according to the explosion-proof construction of electrical equipment.
It is intended as a basic reference for electrical technicians to be used for classifying hazardous locations and for selecting electrical equipment having adequate explosion-proof performance.
Ignition point, explosion limit, and flash point are discussed in many literatures. Consult them by yourself to select appropriate explosion-proof equipment.
