EMC Directive

This product is tested to meet Council Directive 2004/108/EC Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) and the following standards, in whole or in part,
documented in a technical construction file:

• EN 61131-2; Programmable Controllers (Clause 8, Zone A & B)
• EN 61131-2; Programmable Controllers (Clause 11)
• EN 61000-6-4

EMC - Part 6-4: Generic Standards - Emission Standard for Industrial
Environments

• EN 61000-6-2

EMC - Part 6-2: Generic Standards - Immunity for Industrial
Environments

This product is intended for use in an industrial environment.

Low Voltage Directive

This product is tested to meet Council Directive 2006/95/ECLow Voltage, by
applying the safety requirements of EN 61131-2 Programmable Controllers, Part
2 - Equipment Requirements and Tests.

For specific information required by EN 61131-2, see the appropriate sections in
this publication, as well as the following Allen-Bradley publications:

Installation Considerations

Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure (Pollution
Degree 2

(1)

) to reduce the effects of electrical interference (Over Voltage

Category II

(2)

) and environmental exposure. Locate your controller as far as

possible from power lines, load lines, and other sources of electrical noise such as
hard-contact switches, relays, and AC motor drives. For more information on
proper grounding guidelines, see the Industrial Automation Wiring and
Grounding Guidelines publication

1770-4.1

.

(1) Pollution Degree 2 is an environment where normally only non-conductive pollution occurs except that

occasionally temporary conductivity caused by condensation shall be expected.

(2) Overvoltage 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 products insulation.
