Enclosure and Environmental Requirements Specific To This Product
The 56AMXN/B is NOT suitable for use in hazardous locations. 
This product must be mounted within a suitable system enclosure to prevent 
personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The interior of this enclosure 
must be accessible only by the use of a tool. This industrial control equipment is 
intended to operate in a Pollution Degree 2 environment, in overvoltage category II 
applications, (as defined in IEC publication 664A) at altitudes up to 2000 meters 
without derating.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
The 56AMXN/B module is sensitive to electrostatic discharge. 
 
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or 
semiconductors if you touch backplane connector pins. 
Follow these guidelines when you handle the module: 
• Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential 
• Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device 
• Do not touch the backplane connector or connector pins 
• Do not touch circuit components inside the module 
• If available, use a static-safe work station 
• When not in use, keep the module in its static-shield 
packaging
