WARNING
POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD
The integrally mounted antenna shroud is made of Teflon® and has a surface
resistance greater than 1G ohm per square. When the SmartLine Wireless
transmitter 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.
