Environment and Enclosure
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge   
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 more 
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 more installation requirements.
• NEMA Standard 250 and EN/IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of 
the degrees of protection provided by enclosures.
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.
