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 potential static
•
wear an approved grounding wrist strap
•
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
