Installation Instructions for the
Wireless Hazardous Area Limit Switches, WBX Series
m WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY
DO NOT USE these products as safety or emergency stop
devices or in any other application where failure of the product
could result in personal injury.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
m WARNING
Honeywell does not recommend using devices for critical
control applications where there is, or may be, a single point
of failure or where single points of failure may result in an
unsafe condition. It is up to the end-user to weigh the risks
and benefits to determine if the products are appropriate for
the application based on security, safety and performance.
Additionally, it is up to the end-user to ensure that the control
strategy results in a safe operating condition if any crucial
segment of the control solution fails. Honeywell customers
assume full responsibility for learning and meeting the
required Declaration of Conformity, Regulations, Guidelines,
etc. for each country in their distribution market.
m WARNING
POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING
HAZARD
When the WBX Series is installed in potentially hazardous
locations, care should be taken not to electrostatically
charge the surface of the antenna shroud by rubbing the
surface with a cloth, or cleaning the surface with a solvent. If
electrostatically charged, discharge of the antenna shroud to a
person or a tool could possibly ignite a surrounding hazardous
atmosphere.
m WARNING
POTENTIAL IMPACT HAZARD
Care should be taken during installation of the WBX switch to
not apply an impact force to the device. (i.e. dropping the WBX
on a hard surface, impact with a hammer/wrench, etc.).
m WARNING
Enclosure contains aluminum. Care must be taken to avoid
ignition hazard due to impact.
m WARNING
RF EXPOSURE
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile
transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or more
should be maintained between the antenna of this device
and persons during device operation To ensure compliance,
operation at closer than this distance is not recommended.
The antenna used for this transmission must not be co-
located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
m WARNING
The WBX must be installed in accordance with the
requirements specified in this document in order to
comply with the specific Country Communication Agency
requirements (i.e., FCC, IC, ETSI, ACMA, etc.). See Section 6.2
as this requires choosing the correct Country Use Code and
thus allowable antenna and/or cable usage.
m WARNING
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY FROM
EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Connection and disconnection of the antennas should only
be performed in a non-hazardous area and with no battery
power applied to the WBX. This is due to the risk of possibly
damaging the internal WBX electronics and/or igniting the
surrounding hazardous atmosphere.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
m WARNING
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY FROM
EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Connection and disconnection of the batteries should only be
performed in a non-hazardous area. The batteries used in this
device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated.
Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 °C [212 °F], or
incinerate.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
m WARNING
Device cannot be used without metal "S" shaped clamp and
screw securely fastened to switch.
