General Precautions

Read this document and the documents listed in the Additional Resources section about installation, configuration and operation of this equipment before you install, configure, operate or maintain this product.
ATTENTION:
Environment and Enclosure
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 designated and 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 are present and appropriately designed to help 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:
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
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.
ATTENTION:
This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc-plated chromate-passivated steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately. Be sure to ground the DIN rail properly. See the Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Rockwell Automation publication 1770-4.1, for more information.
Electrical Safety Considerations
ATTENTION:
Power to this equipment and all connected I/O must be supplied from a source compliant with the following:
  • SELV source approved to EN/IEC60950-1, EN/IEC61010-2-201 or EN/IEC62368-1 (ES1)
  • PELV source approved to EN/IEC60950-1, EN/IEC61010-2-201 or EN/IEC62368-1 (ES1)
  • All wiring must comply with applicable electrical installation requirements [N.E.C. article 501-4(b)].
  • Wire conductor and insulation ratings shall support minimum temperature rating of 105 °C (221 °F).
  • Do not wire more than 2 conductors on any terminal.
  • In case of malfunction or damage, no attempts at repair should be made. The module should be returned to the manufacturer for repair. Do not dismantle the module.
  • This equipment is certified for use only within the surrounding air temperature range of -25…+60 °C (-13…+140 °F) for horizontal orientation and -25…+55 °C (-13…+131 °F) for other orientations. The equipment must not be used outside of this range.
  • Use only a soft dry anti-static cloth to wipe down equipment. Do not use any cleaning agents.
ATTENTION:
Do not discard the end cap. Use this end cap to cover the exposed interconnections on the adapter or the last mounting base on the DIN rail. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage or injury from electric shock.

WARNING:
Special Conditions for Safe Use:
  • This equipment is not resistant to sunlight or other sources of UV radiation.
  • This equipment shall be mounted in an UKEX/ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 certified enclosure with a minimum ingress protection rating of at least IP54 (in accordance with EN/IEC 60079-0) and used in an environment of not more than Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in EN/IEC 60664-1) when applied in Zone 2 environments. The enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool.
  • This equipment shall be used within its specified ratings defined by Rockwell Automation.
  • Transient protection shall be provided that is set at a level not exceeding 140% of the peak-rated voltage at the supply terminals to the equipment.
  • The instructions in the user manual shall be observed.
  • This equipment must be used only with UKEX/ATEX/IECEx certified Rockwell Automation backplanes.
  • Secure any external connections that mate to this equipment by using screws, sliding latches, threaded connectors, or other means provided with this product.
  • Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
  • Earthing is accomplished through mounting of modules on the DIN rail.
  • The installer shall ensure that the service temperature of the suitably certified enclosure and the “maximum ambient” temperature of the module when installed is not exceeded.
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 may create electrical resistance that can affect module operation.
WARNING:
If you connect or disconnect the removable terminal block (RTB) with power applied, an electric arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Do not connect or disconnect the RTB while power is applied. Be sure that power is removed before proceeding.
WARNING:
If you connect or disconnect the communications cable with power applied to this module or any device on the network, 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.
WARNING:
If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side 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.
