Rockwell Automation 1771-IN ac (24V) Input Module Installation Instructions - Manual (Page 3)

Publication 1771-IN082A-EN-P - February 2005
AC (24V) Input Module 3
Preinstallation
Considerations This module contains filtering to limit the effects of voltage transients caused
by contact bounce and/or radiated electrical noise. The delay due to filtering is
nominally 18ms (+10ms) for turning ac inputs on or off.
This module is designed to operate with ac proximity switches and other input
devices with an off-state leakage current less than 2.8mA peak.
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 IEC publication 60664-1), at
altitudes up to 2000 meters 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 interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by
the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication
may contain additional information regarding specific
enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with
certain product safety certifications.
See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC
publication 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the
degrees of protection provided by different types of
enclosure. Also, see the appropriate sections in this
publication, as well as the Allen-Bradley publication
1770-4.1 ("Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding
Guidelines"), for additional installation requirements
pertaining to this equipment.
ATTENTION
Preventing 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.
• If available, use a static-safe workstation.
