Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and
Maintenance of Solid State Controls (Publication
Automation sales office or online at http://www.literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes
some important differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical
devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for solid
state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves
that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or
consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes.
Because of the many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation,
Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the
examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation, Inc. with respect to use of
information, circuits, equipment, or software described in this manual.

ATTENTION
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
publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 meters (6562 ft) without
derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment
according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions,
there may be potential difficulties ensuring electromagnetic compatibility
in other environments due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
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, for
additional installation requirements, Allen-Bradley publication
1770-4.1.
• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as
applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by
different types of enclosure.

WARNING
ATTENTION
ATTENTION
WARNING
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.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
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.
• If available, use a static-safe workstation.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not
in use.
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.
Do not connect directly to line voltage. Line voltage must be supplied by a
suitable, approved isolating transformer or power supply having short circuit
capacity not exceeding 100 VA maximum or equivalent.
North American Hazardous Location Approval
The following modules are North American Hazardous Location approved:
1794-IV32, 1794-OV32.
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.
