Maintaining the Beacon

EXPLOSION HAZARD: To prevent ignition of hazardous atmosphere,
disconnect the beacon from the supply circuit before opening it. Do not
open the beacon in the presence of explosive gases in the atmosphere.
Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or death.
During the working life of the beacon, it should require little or no maintenance.
The non-metallic housing will resist attack by most acids, alkalis, and chemicals
and is as resistant to concentrated acids and alkalis as most metal products.
However, if abnormal or unusual environment conditions occur due to plant
damage or accident, etc., visual inspection of the beacon is recommended.
