EMC Directive

The ALEC is tested to meet Council Directive 89/336 Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) in accordance with Article 10 (1). The following
directives apply:

EN 50081-2 EMC-Generic Emission Standard, Part 2-Industrial
Environment.

EN 50082-2 EMC-Generic Immunity Standard, Part 2-Industrial
Environment.

The ALEC, as described in this document, is intended for use in an
industrial environment and is not intended for use in a residential,
commercial, or light industrial environment.

To meet CE requirements, the following are required:

The ALEC must be mounted in an IP 54 rated metal enclosure
on a metal panel.

All equipment must be electrically bonded.

You must use the specified Allen-Bradley cables.

The ALEC is designed to function without maintenance when
operated in the environment specified in this manual.

Under normal conditions, the ALEC should not require any
periodic maintenance. However, if conditions are less than ideal
and any superficial dust has accumulated on the controller over
time, remove the dust carefully. Also, it is recommended to
periodically inspect all cables for abrasion and all connectors for
proper seating.

Mounting the ALEC

Before mounting the ALEC, verify that the 1394 GMC System or the S
Class Compact motion controller is installed correctly. Refer to the
1394 Digital AC Multi-Axis Motion Control System User Manual
(publication 1395-5.0) or the IMC 23/x Installation and Set-up Manual
(publication 999-122) for installation instructions.

Mount the ALEC on a metal enclosure panel using two 1/4 -20 or M6
bolts. Refer to the Mechanical Specifications in the Overview chapter
of this manual for mounting dimensions.
