WARNING
Removing the transmitter housing cover in a hazardous area can cause an
explosion.
Because the transmitter housing cover must be removed to connect to the service
port clips, the service port clips should be used only for temporary connections,
e.g., for configuration or troubleshooting purposes.
When the transmitter is in an explosive atmosphere, use a different method to
connect to your transmitter.
