ATTENTION: Before installing, configuring, operating, or 
maintaining this product, read this document and the documents 
listed in the additional resources section for installing, 
configuring, or operating equipment. Users should familiarize 
themselves with installation and wiring instructions in addition 
to requirements of all applicable codes, laws, and standards. 
This equipment is certified for use only within the surrounding air 
temperature range of 0…60 °C (32…140 °F). The equipment 
must not be used outside of this range.
Installation, adjustments, putting into service, use, assembly, 
disassembly, and maintenance shall be carried out by suitably 
trained personnel in accordance with applicable code of practice. 
In case of malfunction or damage, make no attempt at repair. 
Return the module to the manufacturer for repair. Do not 
dismantle the module.
Use only a soft dry anti-static cloth to wipe down equipment. Do 
not use any cleaning agents.
IMPORTANT Any illustrations, charts, sample programs, and layout examples 
that are shown in this publication are intended solely for the 
purposes of example. Since there are many variables and 
requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell 
Automation® does not assume responsibility or liability for actual 
use based on the examples shown in this publication.
Environment and Enclosure
ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution 
Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II 
applications (as defined in EN/IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 
2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.
This equipment is not intended for use in residential 
environments and may not provide adequate protection to radio 
communication services in such environments.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment for indoor 
use. 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 enclosure must have 
suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the 
spread of flame, complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA or 
be approved for the application if nonmetallic. 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.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, 
publication 1770-4.1
, for additional installation requirements.
• NEMA Standard 250 and EN/IEC 60529, as applicable, for 
explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different 
types of enclosure.
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
ATTENTION: 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.
Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP)
WARNING: When you insert or remove the module while 
backplane power is on, an electric 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. Repeated electric arcing causes excessive wear to 
contacts on both the module and its mating connector. Worn 
contacts can create electrical resistance that can affect module 
operation.
Removable Terminal Blocks (RTB)
WARNING: When you connect or disconnect the removable 
terminal block (RTB) with field-side power applied, an electric 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.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
WARNING: At the end of its life, this equipment should be 
collected separately from any unsorted municipal waste.
