La mise en garde suivante s’applique à une utilisation en environnement
dangereux.

WARNING

Les écrans et l'adaptateur c.a. ont le code de température T4, c'est-à-dire une
température de fonctionnement maximum de 135 °C pour une température
ambiante de 50 °C. N’installez pas les écrans dans des environnements contenant
des gaz atmosphériques inflammables à moins de 135 °C.

Danger d'explosion

La substitution de composants peut rendre cet équipement impropre à une
utilisation en environnement dangereux.

coupée et que l’environnement est classé non dangereux.

Ne pas connecter ou déconnecter des composants sans s’être assuré que
l’alimentation est coupée.

L’ensemble du câblage doit être conforme à la réglementation en vigueur
dans le pays où cet équipement est installé.

L’équipement périphérique doit être adapté à l’environnement dans lequel
il est utilisé.

Tout équipement utilisé en environnement dangereux doit être monté dans
une armoire fournissant une protection adaptée aux conditions d'utilisation
ambiantes et suffisante pour éviter toute blessure corporelle pouvant
résulter d'un contact direct avec des composants sous tension.

European Union Directive Compliance

This product meets the European Union Directive requirements when installed
within the European Union or EEA regions and has the CE mark. A copy of the
Declaration of Conformity is available at the Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley
website: http://ab.com

under Product Certification.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to operate in an industrial or control-room
environment, which utilizes some form of power isolation from the public
low-voltage mains. Some computer configurations may not comply with
the EN 61000-3-2 Harmonic Emissions standard as specified by the EMC
Directive of the European Union. Obtain permission from the local power
authority before connecting any computer configuration that draws more
than 75 W of AC power directly from the public mains.

Environment and Enclosure Information

Review the information on enclosures and environments before installing the
product.

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 m (6561 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.

Operating the capacitive touchscreen version in a high noise environment may
cause the touchscreen to respond slowly to touch inputs, or may cause the
position of the screen cursor to drift.

This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. UL recognized and
hazardous location equipment must be mounted in an enclosure that is suitably
designed or rated for those specific environmental conditions that will be
present, and designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to
live parts. UL Listed equipment need not be mounted inside another enclosure
in ordinary (nonhazardous) locations if NEMA Type and IEC ratings are not
required, but the mounting method must limit the tilt of the product to +/- 30°
from vertical. Examples include articulated arm, table-top stand, or other
means having sufficient mechanical stability. The mounting means must be
firmly attached to the supporting surface using screws, bolts, or clamps so the
monitor cannot tip. Units ship with a gasketed bezel to meet specified NEMA
and IEC ratings only when mounted in a panel or enclosure with an equivalent
rating. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional
information regarding specific enclosure-type ratings required to comply with
certain product safety certifications.

See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable,
for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of
enclosures. Also, see the appropriate sections in this publication, as well as
the Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication
1770-4.1, for additional installation requirements pertaining to this equipment.

Installation Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to make sure your product provides safe and reliable
service.

• The installation site must have sufficient power.

ATTENTION

To maintain an electrically safe installation, the product must be connected to
earth ground when installed. Follow the appropriate grounding requirements
associated with your specific product type as described in this installation
document.

• The enclosure must have sufficient space around air inlets and outlets to

provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Never allow air passages to
become obstructed.

• The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating

temperature. Consider heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. You
may need a user-supplied fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner to meet
this condition.

TIP

Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often higher than
the temperature in other parts of the enclosure, especially if air is not
circulating.

IMPORTANT

The product can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life span of any
electronic device is shortened if you continuously operate the product at its
highest rated temperature.

• The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified limits.

• In dry environments, static charges build up readily. Proper grounding of the

equipment through the AC power cord helps to reduce static discharges,
which may cause shocks and damage electronic components.

• The enclosure or cover must remain in place at all times during operation.

The cover provides protection against high voltages inside the product and
inhibits radio-frequency emissions that might interfere with other equipment.
