The standard radio is separate from the optional intrinsically safe version described in the document. That option does not establish ATEX certification for this record.
Listed option boards and privacy features are model capabilities. Installed options, keys and network settings must be checked before claiming interoperability.
The attached family table specifies dimensions only for another named model; dimensions are left unconfirmed for this layout.
