Installation Guidelines When determining where to place the switch, observe these guidelines.
Environment and Enclosure Guidelines
Review these environmental guidelines before installation.
• This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial
environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC
publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 3 km (9842 ft) without derating.
• This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment,
according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate
precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring electromagnetic
compatibility in other environments due to conducted as well as radiated
disturbance.
• 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, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if nonmetallic. The interior of
the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool.
Before You Begin Keep these points in mind when installing the switch.
• Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle this
equipment. Installation and maintenance personnel should be properly
grounded by using ground straps to eliminate the risk of ESD damage
to the switch.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards. Do not touch
circuit components inside the switch. When not in use, store the
equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging.
• Personnel responsible for the application of safety-related
Programmable Electronic Systems (PES) shall be aware of the safety
requirements in the application of the system and shall be trained in
using the system.
• Unless panel-mounted, this product is grounded through the DIN rail
to chassis ground. Use zinc-plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to
assure proper grounding. The use of other DIN rail materials (such as
aluminum, plastic, and so on.) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor
conductors, can result in improper or intermittent grounding. Secure the
DIN rail to the mounting surface approximately every 200 mm (7.8 in.),
and use end-anchors appropriately.
