Hello group - I have another question about equipment for use in hazardous locations. I find no requirements in any of the relevant standards regarding the proper colors of indicators (LED's). For instance, a red LED on a standard-use product could indicate something benign like "battery low" - but for people who work in HAZLOCs, does a red indicator mean "run like hell, it's gonna blow" ?
Also, what would be an appropriate color for the enclosure ? Our product being a portable device, we want to make the intrinsically safe version easily distinguishable from our standard product line which would have the same shape, and there may be both at a facility. I'm thinking orange generally means "caution" to people. Thanks in advance for your input. Doug Massey Safety Approvals Engineer LXE, Inc. Norcross, GA., USA Ph.
