Important User Information

Important: Power must be provided from a limited power source.

Because of the variety of uses for the products described in this publication, those responsible for the application and
use of these products must satisfy themselves that all necessary steps have been taken to assure that each
application and use meets all performance and safety requirements, including any applicable laws, regulations, codes
and standards. In no event will ProSoft Technology be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damage
resulting from the use or application of these products.

Any illustrations, charts, sample programs, and layout examples shown in this publication are intended solely for
purposes of example. Since there are many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation,
ProSoft Technology does not assume responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property liability) for actual use
based upon the examples shown in this publication.

Allen-Bradley publication SGI-1.1, Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid-State
Control
(available from your local Rockwell Automation office), describes some important differences between solid-
state equipment and electromechanical devices that should be taken into consideration when applying products such
as those described in this publication.

Throughout this publication, notes may be used to make you aware of safety considerations. The following
annotations and their accompanying statements help you to identify a potential hazard, avoid a potential hazard, and
recognize the consequences of a potential hazard:

Warning: Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can cause an explosion in a hazardous
environment, which may lead to personal injury or death, property damage, or economic loss.

Caution: Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can lead to personal injury or death, property
damage, or economic loss.

Important: Identifies information that is critical for successful application and understanding of the product.

Burn Hazard: Labels may be located on or inside the equipment (for example, drive or motor) to alert people that
surfaces may be dangerous temperatures.

Shock Hazard: Labels may be located on or inside the equipment (for example, drive or motor) to alert people that
dangerous voltage may be present.

Environment and Enclosure

Caution: 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.

Caution: Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

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.

If available, use a static-safe workstation.

When not in use, store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging.
