ESD HAZARD
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or semiconductors if
you touch connector pins or tracks on a printed wiring board. Follow these
guidelines when you handle any electronic component:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential,
• Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device,
• Do not touch the wire connector or connector pins,
• Do not touch circuit components inside a component,
• If available, use a static safe workstation,
• When not in use, keep the component in its static shield box or bag.
WARNING
Unless the location is known to be non-hazardous, do not connect or
disconnect cables while the control system is powered.

Series C Power System
Power Systems for Series C control hardware provide optional redundant power supplies
with separate mains power feeds. Optional system battery backup is also available and a
memory RAM battery is provided to supply memory retention power for the C300
Controller. The capabilities and options available with the Series-C power system are
very similar to those available with today’s Process Manager Power System.
The Power Supply for the Series C control hardware is mounted on the left hand side of
the enclosure and includes battery backup and battery charger if required. Connection
from the power supply to a power system rail in the IOTA Carriers is made at the top of
the enclosure. Connections from the Power System rail to the IOTA is made with screws
that connect to the rails running down the spine (back of) of the IOTA Carrier. See
Selecting Series C Power System in the Control Hardware Planning Guide for power
system options.
