ATTENTION
Environment and Enclosure
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial
environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC
publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 meters 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 open-type equipment. It must be
mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those
specific environmental conditions that will be present and
appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from
accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure must be
accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this
publication may contain additional information regarding specific
enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain
product safety certifications.
See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as
applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by
different types of enclosure. Also, see the appropriate sections in this
publication, as well as Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding
Guidelines, Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1, for additional
installation requirements pertaining to this equipment.
WARNING
If you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an
electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.
WARNING
If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field side power is on, an
electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.
ATTENTION
This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use
zinc plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding.
The use of other DIN rail materials (such as aluminum or plastic) that
can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or
intermittent grounding.
ATTENTION
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
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.
