GuardPLC 1753-IF8XOF4 Analog I/O Module 5

Publication 1753-IN013A-EN-P - September 2005

Open style devices must be provided with environmental and safety protection by
proper mounting in enclosures designed for specific application conditions.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

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

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 static potential.
• Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• If available, use a static-safe workstation.
• When not in use, store the equipment in appropriate static

safe packaging.
