Installing Your ControlNet PLCĆ5 Processor

1-3

Your processor is shipped in a static-shielded container to guard against
electrostatic damage. Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated
circuits or semiconductors in the processor if you touch backplane
connector pins. It can also damage the module when you set configuration
plugs or switches inside the module. Avoid electrostatic damage by
observing the following precautions.

Remain in contact with an approved ground point while handling the

module—wear a properly grounded wrist strap.

Do not touch the backplane connector or connector pins.

When not in use, keep the module in its static-shielded container.
