Environment and Enclosure

ATTENTION: 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 difficulties with electromagnetic compatibility in residential and other environments due to conducted and radiated disturbances.

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, Rockwell Automation publication 1770-4.1

• NEMA Standard 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge

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.

About the Modules

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 M12 style. The mounting base ships with the module. The 1738-OE2CM12 module is shown here.

Mount the I/O Base

To mount the base on a wall or panel, use the screw holes provided in the base.

ATTENTION: The ArmorPOINT I/O module must be mounted on a grounded metal mounting plate or other conductive surface.

A mounting diagram for the ArmorPOINT base with adapter is shown here.

Install the mounting base as follows:

1. Lay out the required points as shown above in the drilling dimension diagram.

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.
