WARNING
When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, 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. Repeated 
electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and its 
mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect 
module operation.
WARNING
If you connect or disconnect the communications cable with power applied to this 
module or any device on the network, 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.
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.
