Safety guidelines
You can connect hazardous voltages to the USB-2404-10 device's screw terminals. A hazardous voltage is a
voltage greater than 42.4 V
pk
or 60 VDC to earth ground. Take the following precautions if you connect
hazardous voltages to the USB-2404-10:
Caution! Ensure that hazardous voltage wiring is performed only by qualified personnel adhering to local
electrical standards.
Caution! Do not mix hazardous voltage circuits and human-accessible circuits on the same device.
Caution! Make sure that devices and circuits connected to the USB-2404-10 are properly insulated from
human contact.
Caution! When device terminals are hazardous voltage LIVE (>42.4V
pk
/60 VDC), ensure that devices and
circuits connected to the USB-2404-10 are properly insulated from human contact. Use the
ACC-160 connector backshell kit to ensure that the terminals are not accessible.
