European Zone 2 Certification (The following applies when the product 
bears the Ex Marking)
This equipment is intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres as defined 
by European Union Directive 94/9/EC and has been found to comply with the 
Essential Health and Safety Requirements relating to the design and construction 
of Category 3 equipment intended for use in Zone 2 potentially explosive 
atmospheres, given in Annex II to this Directive.
Compliance with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements has been assured 
by compliance with EN 60079-15 and EN 60079-0.
WARNING
Observe the following additional Zone 2 certification requirements:
• This equipment is not resistant to sunlight or other sources of UV
radiation.
• This equipment must be installed in an enclosure providing at
least IP54 protection when applied in Zone 2 environments.
• This equipment shall be used within its specified ratings defined
by Rockwell Automation.
• Provision shall be made to prevent the rated voltage from being
exceeded by transient disturbances of more than 40% when 
applied in Zone 2 environments.
• This equipment must be used only with ATEX 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.
• Enclosure must be marked with the following: "Warning - Do not
open when energized." After installation of equipment into the 
enclosure, access to termination compartments shall be 
dimensioned so that conductors can be readily connected.
The following information applies 
when operating this equipment in 
hazardous locations:
Informations sur l’utilisation de cet 
équipement en environnements 
dangereux :
Products marked “CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D” 
are suitable for use in Class I Division 2 
Groups A, B, C, D, Hazardous Locations and 
nonhazardous locations only. Each product 
is supplied with markings on the rating 
nameplate indicating the hazardous 
location temperature code. When 
combining products within a system, the 
most adverse temperature code (lowest “T” 
number) may be used to help determine the 
overall temperature code of the system. 
Combinations of equipment in your system 
are subject to investigation by the local 
Authority Having Jurisdiction at the time of 
installation.
Les produits marqués "CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D" 
ne conviennent qu’à une utilisation en 
environnements de Classe I Division 2 Groupes A, 
B, C, D dangereux et non dangereux. Chaque 
produit est livré avec des marquages sur sa 
plaque d’identification qui indiquent le code de 
température pour les environnements dangereux. 
Lorsque plusieurs produits sont combinés dans un 
système, le code de température le plus 
défavorable (code de température le plus faible) 
peut être utilisé pour déterminer le code de 
température global du système. Les combinaisons 
d’équipements dans le système sont sujettes à 
inspection par les autorités locales qualifiées au 
moment de l’installation.

nonhazardous.
AVERTISSEMENT
RISQUE D’EXPLOSION
• Couper le courant ou s’assurer
que l’environnement est classé 
non dangereux avant de 
débrancher l'équipement.
• Couper le courant ou s'assurer
que l’environnement est classé 
non dangereux avant de 
débrancher les connecteurs. 
Fixer tous les connecteurs 
externes reliés à cet 
équipement à l'aide de vis, 
loquets coulissants, 
connecteurs filetés ou autres 
moyens fournis avec ce 
produit.
• La substitution de composants
peut rendre cet équipement 
inadapté à une utilisation en 
environnement de Classe I, 
Division 2.
• S’assurer que l’environnement
est classé non dangereux 
avant de changer les piles.
ATTENTION
To comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive (LVD), this equipment 
must be powered from a source compliant with the following:
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) or Protected Extra Low 
Voltage (PELV).
ATTENTION
FLEX I/O 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 (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.
