Environment and Enclosure
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in overvoltage Category II
applications (as defined in IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft)
without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according
to IEC/CISPR 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be difficulties with
electromagnetic compatibility in residential and other environments due to
conducted and radiated disturbances.
This equipment is supplied as enclosed equipment. It should not require
additional system enclosure when used in locations consistent with the
enclosure type ratings stated in the Specifications section of this publication.
Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information
regarding specific enclosure type ratings, beyond what this product provides,
that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
• 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 different types of 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 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.
