TASK 1
INSTALLING THE SMD17E2
1.1 Location
1.1.1 IP50 Rated Units (SMD17E2-M12)
SMD17E2 units that are IP50 rated are suitable for use in an industrial environment that meet the following
criteria:
Only non-conductive pollutants normally exist in the environment, but an occasional temporary con-
ductivity caused by condensation is expected.
Transient voltages are controlled and do not exceed the impulse voltage capability of the product’s insu-
lation.
These criteria are equivalent to the Pollution Degree 2 and Over Voltage Category II designations of the Inter-
national Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
1.1.2 IP64 Rated Units (SMD17E2-M12S)
SMD17E2 units that are IP64 rated are suitable for use in an industrial environment that meet the following
criteria:
Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation is to be expected.
Transient voltages are controlled and do not exceed the impulse voltage capability of the product’s insu-
lation.
These criteria are equivalent to the Pollution Degree 3 and Over Voltage Category II designations of the Inter-
national Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Safe Handling Guidelines
1.1.3 Prevent Electrostatic Damage
Electrostatic discharge can damage the SMD17E2 units. Follow these guidelines when
handling the unit.
1) Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential before handling the unit.
2) Work in a static-safe environment whenever possible.
3) Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device.
4) Do not touch the pins of the network connectors or I/O connector.
5) Do not disassemble the unit
6) Store the unit in its shipping box when it is not in use.
1.1.4 Prevent Debris From Entering the Unit
While mounting devices, be sure that all debris (metal chips, wire strands, tapping liq-
uids, etc.) is prevented from falling into the unit, specifically into the M12 connectors.
Debris may cause damage to the unit or unintended machine operation with possible
personal injury.
1.1.5 Remove Power Before Servicing
Remove power before removing or installing any SMD17E2 units.
