Environment and Enclosure

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in
IEC 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 and 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:

• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Rockwell

Automation publication

1770-4.1

, for additional installation requirements.

• NEMA Standard 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the

degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.

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 wriststrap.

Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.

Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.

Use a static-safe workstation, if available.

Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.
