European Union Directive
Compliance
If this product is installed within the European Union or EEA regions and
the product has a CE mark, the following regulations apply.
EMC Directive
This apparatus is tested to meet Council Directive 89/336 Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC):
EN 50081-2 EMC – Generic Emission Standard, Part 2 – Industrial
Environment
EN 50082-2 EMC – Generic Immunity Standard, Part 2 – Industrial
Environment
According to these Standards, the factor which determines, for EMC
purposes, whether an apparatus is deemed to be “Industrial” or “Residential,
commercial and light industrial“, is given in Clause 1 of EN50081-2 as
follows:
Apparatus covered by this standard is not intended for connection
to a public mains network but is intended to be connected to a
power network supplied from a high- or medium-voltage
transformer dedicated for the supply of an installation feeding a
manufacturing or similar plant.
The product described in this manual is intended for use solely in an
industrial environment as defined above. When installed in Europe, any
other application is in contravention of European Union Directives, and a
breach of those laws.
Low Voltage Directive
This apparatus is also designed to meet Council Directive 73/23 Low
Voltage, by applying the safety requirements of EN 61131–2 Programmable
Controllers, Part 2 – Equipment Requirements and Tests.
For specific information that the above norm requires, see the appropriate
sections in this manual, as well as the following Allen-Bradley publications:

Handling the
Memory Module
The memory module is shipped in a static-shielded bag to guard against
electrostatic damage.
ATTENTION: Under some conditions, electrostatic discharge
can degrade performance or damage the memory module.
Observe the following precautions to guard against
electrostatic damage:
Touch a grounded object to rid yourself of static charge
before handling the module.
When not in use, keep the module in its static-shielded bag.
