Environment and Enclosure
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
ATTENTION
This equipment is intended for use 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 enclosed equipment. It should not require
additional system enclosure when used in locations consistent with the
enclosure type ratings stated in the Specifications section of this publication.
Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information
regarding specific enclosure type ratings, beyond what this product provides,
that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Allen-Bradley
publication
, for additional installation requirements.
• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as
applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by
different types of enclosure.
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.
