Class I, Division 2 Guidelines

If you purchased a Class I, Division 2-compliant PowerStation, it is suitable

for use in Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous locations. You must follow

these guidelines in order to maintain a safe operating environment.

When performing field wiring, always use copper wire with 60C or
60/75C insulation and a tightening torque of 7.0lbs/in (0.79 N-m).

Substitution of components can impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.

The PA PowerStation is intended to use a branch circuit protection rated
20 Amps or less.

Make sure that the PA PowerStation’s “ON/OFF” switch is secured in the
“ON” position using the supplied bracket.
