Important Safety Information
DANGER
If Isco’s 2151P Intrinsically Safe Area Velocity Flow System is installed in a hazardous area, it MUST
be installed in accordance with control drawing 60-2003-227, shown on the following pages, and in
accordance with the requirements of the authority that has jurisdiction for the installation of
equipment in hazardous areas at your specific installation site.
The certified control drawing details the only approved method of installing the 2151P area velocity
flow system in a hazardous area. Where specific Isco part numbers appear, they represent the only
approved equipment certified to be used with the 2151P. Any equipment substitutions or installations
not specifically detailed on the control drawing will automatically void the intrinsically safe certifi-
cation of the 2151P and could result in fire or explosion!
Detailed hazardous area installation instructions for the 2151P are provided in Section 2 of this
manual. Read this section carefully before beginning equipment installation! General safety infor-
mation for working in confined spaces is provided in Appendix E.
The 2151P is listed as intrinsically safe for Class I, Div. 1, Groups C and D hazardous locations. This
means that when it is properly installed in a Class I, Div. 1, Group C or D hazardous location, the
circuits within the 2151P are designed to be incapable of producing a spark or thermal effect that
could ignite a mixture of flammable or combustible gases. This does not mean that the 2151P is
explosion proof. If the equipment is not installed properly in a hazardous area, or if proper safety pre-
cautions are not followed, there is a serious potential for an explosion. Carefully review the safety
information, control drawing, and installation requirements and procedures before installing the
2151P!
