ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category
II applications (as defined in 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. 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, Rockwell Automation publication 1770-4.1
, for additional
installation requirements
• NEMA Standard 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by enclosure
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 wrist strap.
• 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.
WARNING: When 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. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive
wear to contacts on both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect
module operation.
The following applies when the product bears the Ex Marking.
This equipment is intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres as defined by European Union Directive 94/9/EC and has been found to
comply with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements relating to the design and construction of Category 3 equipment intended for use in
Zone 2 potentially explosive atmospheres, given in Annex II to this Directive.
Compliance with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements has been assured by compliance with EN 60079-15 and EN 60079-0.
