• Before handling the card, be sure to wear the provided static strap and touch

a grounded object to discharge any built-up static charge.

• Avoid touching the backplane connector or interface connector pins located

on the card.

• If the card is not in use, store it in the anti-static clamshell that the card was

CSA Hazardous Location Approval

CSA certifies products for general use as well as for use in hazardous locations. Actual CSA
certification is indicated by the product label as shown below, and not by statements in any

user documentation.

Example of the CSA certification product label

To comply with CSA certification for use in hazardous locations, the following information
becomes a part of the product literature for this CSA-certified industrial control product.

• This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, or non-hazardous
locations only.

• The products having the appropriate CSA markings (that is, Class I Division 2, Groups A, B,
C, D), are certified for use in other equipment where the suitability of combination (that is,
application or use) is determined by the CSA or the local inspection office having jurisdiction.

Important: Due to the modular nature of a programmable control system, the product with the
highest temperature rating determines the overall temperature code rating of a programmable
control system in a Class I, Division 2 location. The temperature code rating is marked on the
product label as shown.

The following warnings apply to products having CSA certification for use in hazardous locations.

WARNING: Explosion hazard —

• Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.

• Do not replace components unless power has been switched off or the area

• Do not disconnect connectors unless power has been switched off or the
area is known to be non-hazardous. Secure any user-supplied connectors
that mate to external circuits on this equipment by using screws, sliding
latches, threaded connectors, or other means such that any connection
can withstand a 15 Newton (3.4 lb.) separating force applied for a minimum
of one minute.

• Batteries must be changed only in an area known to be non-hazardous.

Selecting the Base I/O Space Address Location

The

host addresses I/O devices on the card by using their I/O space address. The
host addresses individual devices through registers that have addresses based on
the I/O space base address. The registers are 2 bytes long.

The card comes set to base I/O space address 220. Y
selected address has been allocated to other interface cards or expansion memory
cards you have installed in your computer system. If this occurs, change the
switch settings to an open address.

Important: When selecting configuration settings, check for conflicts with

other interface cards and system memory. If there is a conflict, the
system will not operate properly.

T

o select a new base I/O space address:

1. Pick an available address from the I/O map area of the host computer’s

memory

. Be sure to choose a block that is 2 bytes long.

Important: Each card requires 2 bytes of I/O space.

2.
