Module Installation
Compact I/O is suitable for use in an industrial environment when installed in
accordance with these instructions. Specifically, this equipment is intended for
use in clean, dry environments (Pollution degree 2
1
) and to circuits not exceeding
Over Voltage Category II
2
(IEC 60664-1).

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
Remove Power
1. Pollution Degree 2 is an environment where, normally, only non-conductive pollution occurs except that
occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation shall be expected.
2. Over Voltage Category II is the load level section of the electrical distribution system. At this level transient
voltages are controlled and do not exceed the impulse voltage capability of the product’s insulation.
3. Pollution Degree 2 and Over Voltage Category II are International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
designations.

ATTENTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated
circuits or semiconductors if you touch bus connector pins.
Follow these guidelines when you handle the module:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential.
• Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device.
• Do not touch the bus connector or connector pins.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the module.
• If available, use a static-safe work station.
• When not in use, keep the module in its static-shield box.
!
ATTENTION: Remove power before removing or inserting
this module. When you remove or insert a module with power
applied, an electrical arc may occur. An electrical arc can cause
personal injury or property damage by:
• sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field devices,
causing unintended machine motion
• causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create
electrical resistance.
