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.
• When not in use, store the equipment in
appropriate static-safe packaging.
ATTENTION
POINT I/O is grounded through the DIN rail to
chassis ground. Use zinc-plated, yellow-chromated
steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. Using
other DIN rail materials (e.g., aluminum, plastic,
etc.) which can corrode, oxidize or are poor
conductors, can result in improper or intermittent
platform grounding.
WARNING
When you connect or disconnect the Removable
Terminal Block (RTB) with field side power
applied, an electrical arc can occur. This could
cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is
nonhazardous before proceeding.
