Environment and Enclosure

ATTENTION

Environment and Enclosure

This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial
environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC
publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 meters (6562 ft.) without derating.

This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according
to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be
potential difficulties ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other
environments due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.

This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within
an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental
conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal
injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The enclosure must have suitable
flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame,
complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if
non-metallic.

Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information
regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with
certain product safety certifications.

Besides this publication, see:

• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for additional installation

requirements, Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1.

• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable, for

explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.
