Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
ATTENTION
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause
internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines when
you handle this equipment.
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in
use.
ATTENTION
POINT I/O is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc plated
yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use of other
DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can corrode, oxidize,
or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent grounding.
Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and
use end-anchors appropriately.
ATTENTION
To comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive (LVD), this equipment must be
powered from a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) or Protected Extra Low
Voltage (PELV) compliant source
ATTENTION
Do not remove or replace an Adapter Module while power is applied.
Interruption of the backplane can result in unintentional operation or machine
motion.
WARNING
When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an
electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance that can affect module operation.
