Technical Bulletin *Termination Enclosure TE-11*

This Technical Bulletin provides background and specifications for a new Termination Enclosure specifically to house the MP-11 Maintenance Free Moisture Protection. PMC has selected a robust, chemical resistant, UV rated housing which is UL Listed and NEMA 4X rated, to suit the wide range of locations where these boxes are used. It incorporates the features of the existing TE-10 and MP-11 into a single box and provide for many of the other popular options which have been developed to help users with a long, maintenance free operation of PMC’s Depth and Level Transmitters.

This Technical Bulletin should be used in conjunction with our general brochure: “Accessories for Depth/Level Transmitters“.

Installation Guide for Hazardous Areas 2010

 

Wilcoxon Research has revised the “Installation Guide for Hazardous Areas“. 

 Introduction
The concept of intrinsic safety in wiring recognizes that a sufficient concentration of
ignitable, flammable or combustible materials will be present, with air or another
oxidizer, to represent a fire or explosion hazard. These mixtures could easily be ignited
by a match or other open flame, or by a high-energy spark. The wiring used in areas
where these mixtures are present can be implemented in a manner which absolutely
precludes any possibility of igniting these mixtures. That is the essence of intrinsic
safety. Intrinsically safe wiring will never have enough energy available within the
defined hazardous area to ignite any explosive or combustible mixture of gasses, dusts,
or metals. .....
