Prevent Electrostatic Discharge

Remove Power

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 installing this module. When you
remove or install 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
• causing permanent damage to the module’s circuitry

Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module
and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance.
