Install the Module
Follow these steps to install the module.
1. Mount the module to a DIN rail.
2. Ground the module.
3. Wire the module.
4. Make connections for safety-related communication.
This publication describes these steps in detail.
ATTENTION: 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 m (6562 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according 
to IEC/CISPR 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be difficulties 
with electromagnetic compatibility in residential and other environments due 
to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.
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 enclosure must have 
suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame, 
complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if 
non-metallic. 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.
In addition to this publication, see:

Automation publication 
, for additional installation requirements.
•
NEMA 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of 
protection provided by different types of enclosure.
