Environment and Enclosure

ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2

industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in
EN/IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.

This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments and may not
provide adequate protection to radio communication services in such
environments.

This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment for indoor use. 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 or be approved for the
application if nonmetallic. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only
by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain more
information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to
comply with certain product safety certifications.

In addition to this publication, see the following:

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge

POINT I/O Field Potential Distributor Modules 3

ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge that 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.

• Use a static-safe workstation if available.

• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.

North American Hazardous Location Approval

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, H azardous
Locations and nonhazardous locations only. Each produ ct
is supplied with markings on the rat ing nameplate
indicating the hazardous location tempe rature 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 you r system
are subject to investigation by the local Authority Having
Jurisdiction at the time of installation.

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 equipm ent
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.

Informations sur l’utilisation de cet équipement
en environnements dangereux:

Les produits marqués "CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D" ne co nviennent
qu'à une utilisation en environnements de Classe I Division 2
Groupes A, B, C, D dangereux et non dan gereux. Chaque produit
est livré avec des marquages sur sa plaque d'identification qui
indiquent le code de température pour les environnements
dangereux. Lorsque plusieurs produits sont combin és dans un
système, le code de température le plus défavorable (code de
température le plus faible) peut être utilisé pour déterminer le
code de température global du système. Les combinaisons
d'équipements dans le système sont sujettes à insp ection par
les autorités locales qualifiées au moment de l'installation.

RISQUE D’EXPLOSION

• Couper le courant ou s'assurer que
l'environnement est classé non dangereu x
avant de débrancher l'équipement.

• Couper le courant ou s'assurer que
l'environnement est classé non dangereu x
avant de débrancher les connecteurs. Fixer
tous les connecteurs externes reliés à cet
équipement à l'aide de vis, loquets
coulissants, connecteurs filetés ou autres
moyens fournis avec ce produit.

• La substitution d e composants peut rendre cet
équipement inadapté à une utilisation en
environnement de Classe I, Division 2.
