I am working on controls project in Class 1,Div.2,Group C.
Can I use junction boxes for my proximity switches or have to run cables outside of the room to safe area? what other considerations i need to forsee?
 
See Article 501 of The National Electric Code for proper wiring methods or use intrinsically safe wiring and devices.
