North American Hazardous Location Approval
The following information applies
when operating this equipment in
hazardous locations.
Products marked "CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D" are
suitable for use in Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C,
D, Hazardous Locations and nonhazardous
locations only. Each product is supplied with
markings on the rating nameplate indicating the
hazardous location temperature code. When
combining products within a system, the most
adverse temperature code (lowest "T" number) may
be used to help determine the overall temperature
code of the system. Combinations of equipment in
your system are subject to investigation by the
local Authority Having Jurisdiction at the time of
installation.
WARNING:
Explosion Hazard -
•Do not disconnect equipment
unless power has been removed
or the area is known to be
nonhazardous.
•Do not disconnect connections to
this equipment unless power has
been removed or the area is
known to be nonhazardous.
Secure any external connections
that mate to this equipment by
using screws, sliding latches,
threaded connectors, or other
means provided with this product.
•Substitution of components may
impair suitability for Class I,
Division 2.
•If this product contains batteries,
they must only be changed in an
area known to be nonhazardous.
Informations sur l’utilisation de cet
équipement en environnements
dangereux.
Les produits marqués "CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D" ne
conviennent qu'à une utilisation en environnements
de Classe I Division 2 Groupes A, B, C, D dangereux et
non dangereux. Chaque produit est livré avec des
marquages sur sa plaque d'identification qui indiquent
le code de température pour les environnements
dangereux. Lorsque plusieurs produits sont combinés
dans un système, le code de température le plus
défavorable (code de température le plus faible) peut
être utilisé pour déterminer le code de température
global du système. Les combinaisons d'équipements
dans le système sont sujettes à inspection par les
autorités locales qualifiées au moment de
l'installation.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Risque d’Explosion –
•Couper le courant ou s'assurer que
l'environnement est classé non
dangereux avant de débrancher
l'équipement.
•Couper le courant ou s'assurer que
l'environnement est classé non
dangereux avant de débrancher les
connecteurs. Fixer tous les
connecteurs externes reliés à cet
équipement à l'aide de vis, loquets
coulissants, connecteurs filetés ou
autres moyens fournis avec ce
produit.
•La substitution de composants peut
rendre cet équipement inadapté à
une utilisation en environnement de
Classe I, Division 2.
•S'assurer que l'environnement est
classé non dangereux avant de
changer les piles.

Module Installation
Compact I/O is suitable for use in an industrial environment when installed
in accordance with these instructions.
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
ATTENTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated
circuits or semiconductors if you touch bus connector pins or the
terminal block. Follow these guidelines when you handle the
module:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential.
• Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device.
• Do not touch the bus connector or connector pins.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the module.
• Use a static-safe work station, if available.
• When not in use, keep the module in its static-shield box.
Remove Power
ATTENTION: Remove power before removing or inserting this
module. When you remove or insert a module with power applied,
an electrical arc may occur. An electrical arc can cause personal
injury or property damage by:
• sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field devices,
causing unintended machine motion.
• causing an explosion in a hazardous environment.
Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance.

System Assembly
The module can be attached to the controller or an adjacent I/O module before
or after mounting.
• For mounting instructions, see Panel Mounting
Mounting on page 11.
• To work with a system that is already mounted, see Replacing a Single
Module Within a System on page 11.
The following procedure shows you how to assemble the Compact I/O system.

3. Use the upper and lower tongue-and-groove slots (1) to secure the
modules together (or to a controller).
4. Move the module back along the tongue-and-groove slots until the bus
connectors (2) line up with each other.
5. Push the bus lever back slightly to clear the positioning tab (3). Use your
fingers or a small screwdriver.
6. To allow communication between the controller and module, move the
bus lever fully to the left (4) until it clicks. Make sure it is locked firmly
in place.
ATTENTION: When attaching I/O modules, it is very important
that the bus connectors are securely locked together for proper
electrical connection.
7. Attach an end cap terminator (5) to the last module in the system by
using the tongue-and-groove slots as before.
8. Lock the end cap bus terminator (6).
IMPORTANT
A 1769-ECR or 1769-ECL right or left end cap must be used to
terminate the end of the serial communication bus.
Mounting Expansion I/O
ATTENTION: During panel or DIN rail mounting of all devices, be
sure that all debris, such as metal chips or wire strands, is kept
from falling into the module. Debris that falls into the module
could cause damage on power up.
