    The following two paragraphs apply only if this feature is used. The TCD DPM in the Maxum II, as well as the actual detector controlled by the TCD, is protected by intrinsic safety. Intrinsic safety is a method of protection where a circuit is designed such that it will not create a spark or other condition capable of causing ignition of flammable vapors or gases, even under fault conditions.
  • Page 69 Intrinsic Safety Grounds: The intrinsically safe design of the IS-TCD3 DPM (not normally used with airless or airbath ovens) requires two ground connections to the chassis terminated to two different terminals. The Maxum II Modular Oven is shipped with these grounds connected correctly. Refer to the Maxum II Explosion Protection Safety Standards Manual (A5E02220442001) for more information on the safe use of intrinsically safe circuitry in the Maxum II.
