Environment and Enclosure
This equipment is intended for use 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 potential
difficulties ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due
to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as enclosed equipment. It should not require
additional system enclosure when used in locations consistent with the
enclosure type ratings stated in the Specifications section of this publication.
Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information
regarding specific enclosure type ratings, beyond what this product provides,
that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication
1770-4.1
, for additional installation requirements.
• NEMA Standards 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of
the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.
Prevent 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.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in
use.

About the Module
The ArmorPoint I/O family consists of modular I/O modules. The sealed
IP67 housing of these modules requires no enclosure. Note that
environmental requirements other than IP67 may require an additional
appropriate housing. I/O connectors are sealed M8 (pico), M12 (micro) or
M23 styles. The mounting base ships with the module.

Mount the I/O Base
Mount the I/O base on a wall or panel, using the screw holes provided in the
base.
The ArmorPoint I/O module must be mounted on a grounded metal
mounting plate or other conductive surface.
Make sure all connectors and caps are securely tightened to properly seal the
connections against leaks and maintain IP enclosure type requirements.
To comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive (LVD), all connected I/O must be
powered from a source compliant with the following:
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) or Protected Extra Low Voltage (PELV).

Install the mounting as follows:
1. Lay out the required points as shown above in the drilling dimension
drawing.
2. Drill the necessary holes for M4 (#8) machine or self-tapping screws.
3. Mount the base using M4 (#8) screws.
4. Ground the system using the ground lug connection.
The ground lug connection is also a mounting hole.

Communicate with Your Module
Read this section for information about how to communicate with your
module.
I/O messages are sent to (consumed) and received from (produced) the
POINT I/O modules. These messages are mapped into the processor’s or
scanner’s memory. Each module produces 1 byte of input data and consumes
1 byte of I/O data (scanner Tx).
