Environment and Enclosure
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial
environment, 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 open-type equipment. It must be mounted
within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific
environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately designed
to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The
enclosure must have suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or
minimize the spread of flame, complying with a flame spread rating of
5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if non-metallic. The interior of the enclosure
must be accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this
publication may contain additional information regarding specific
enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain product
safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
Allen-Bradley publication
requirements.
• NEMA Standards 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations
of the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.
This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc
plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use
of other DIN rail materials (for example aluminum or plastic) that can
corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or
intermittent grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately
every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.

The module mounts on a 1794 terminal base.
During mounting of all devices, be sure that all debris (such as metal chips
and wire strands) is kept from falling into the module. Debris that falls into
the module could cause damage on power up.
1. Rotate the keyswitch (1) on the terminal base (2) clockwise to position 2 as
required for this type of module.
2. Make certain the flexbus connector (3) is pushed all the way to the left to
connect with the neighboring terminal base/adapter. You cannot
install the module unless the connector is fully extended.
3. Make sure the pins on the bottom of the module are straight so they will
align properly with the connector in the terminal base.
If you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an
electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is
nonhazardous before proceeding.
4. Position the module (4) with its alignment bar (5) aligned with the groove
(6) on the terminal base.
5. Press firmly and evenly to seat the module in the terminal base unit. The
module is seated when the latching mechanism (7) is locked into the
module.
