Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
This module is sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
A A A A ATTENTION: TTENTION: TTENTION: TTENTION: TTENTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated
circuits or semiconductors if you touch backplane 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 backplane 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
Removal and Insertion Under Power
These modules are designed to be installed or removed while chassis
power is applied.
A A A A ATTENTION: TTENTION: TTENTION: TTENTION: TTENTION: When you insert or remove a module while
backplane power is 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 or loss of process
control.
· causing an explosion in a hazardous environment.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts
on both the module and its mating connectors. Worn contacts
may create electrical resistance that can affect module
operation.
