Caution: POINT I/O is grounded through the DIN-rail to chassis ground. Use zinc-plated, yellow-chromated steel
DIN-rail to assure proper grounding. Using other DIN-rail materials (for example, aluminum, plastic, and so on) which
can corrode, oxidize or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent platform grounding.

Caution: When you connect or disconnect the Removable Terminal Block (RTB) with field side power applied, 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.

Important Installation Instructions

The following Information and warnings pertaining to the radio module must be heeded:

A

"THIS DEVICE CONTAINS A TRANSMITTER MODULE, FCC ID: R68MTCHDRCT. PLEASE SEE FCC ID
LABEL ON BACK OF DEVICE."

B

"THIS DEVICE USES AN INTERNAL COMPACT FLASH RADIO MODULE AS THE PRIMARY RADIO
COMPONENT. THE COMPACT FLASH RADIO MODULE DOES NOT HAVE AN FCC ID LABEL. THE
COMPACT FLASH RADIO MODULE HAS NO USER SERVICABLE PARTS."

C

"THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2)
THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY
CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION."

Industry Canada Requirements:

A

"THIS DEVICE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH AN ANTENNA HAVING A MAXIMUM GAIN OF 24
dB. AN ANTENNA HAVING A HIGHER GAIN IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED PER REGULATIONS OF INDUSTRY
CANADA. THE REQUIRED ANTENNA IMPEDANCE IS 50 OHMS."

B

"TO REDUCE POTENTIAL RADIO INTERFERENCE TO OTHER USERS, THE ANTENNA TYPE AND ITS
GAIN SHOULD BE CHOSEN SUCH THAT THE EQUIVALENT ISOTROPICALLY RADIATED POWER (EIRP)
IS NOT MORE THAN THAT REQUIRED FOR SUCCESSFUL COMMUNICATION."

C

"THE INSTALLER OF THIS RADIO EQUIPMENT MUST INSURE THAT THE ANTENNA IS LOCATED OR
POINTED SUCH THAT IT DOES NOT EMIT RF FIELD IN EXCESS OF HEALTH CANADA LIMITS FOR THE
