Installation
Before installing the PANTHER panel-mount terminal in an area classified as Division 2,
read and understand the METTLER TOLEDO control drawing 155907R in the last chapter of
this guide. Make note of the inputs and outputs that will be used and the type of protection
required for each I/O. Also note that the PANTHER panel-mount terminal must be installed
into a Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory approved dust tight enclosure appropriate for
the environment.
METTLER TOLEDO ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR CORRECT
INSTALLATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT WITHIN A DIVISION 2 AREA.
THE INSTALLER MUST BE FAMILIAR WITH ALL DIVISION 2 WIRING
AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS.
IN ORDER TO USE THE ANALOG PANTHER PANEL-MOUNT
TERMINAL IN AN AREA CLASSIFIED AS CLASS I, II OR III, DIVISION
2, GROUPS A, B, C, D, F OR G, METTLER TOLEDO CONTROL
DRAWING 155907R MUST BE FOLLOWED WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN BODILY HARM AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Confirm that the data plate on the PANTHER panel-mount terminal indicates that it has been
approved for use in Division 2 areas. The data plate is located on the top of the housing
near the back panel. If the PANTHER panel-mount terminal is one that has been approved
for use in Division 2 areas by Factory Mutual, there will be two data plates present, and the
approval data plate will look like the example below.
