Product Related Information
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
Disconnect all power from all equipment including connected devices prior to removing any
covers or doors, or installing or removing any accessories, hardware, cables, or wires except
under the specific conditions specified in the appropriate hardware guide for this equipment.
Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off where and when
indicated.
Replace and secure all covers, accessories, hardware, cables, and wires and confirm that a
proper ground connection exists before applying power to the unit.
Use only the specified voltage when operating this equipment and any associated products.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSION
Only use this equipment in non-hazardous locations, or in locations that comply with Class I,
Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D.
Do not substitute components which would impair compliance to Class I, Division 2.
Do not connect or disconnect equipment unless power has been removed or the location is
known to be non-hazardous.

WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths
and, for certain critical control functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and
after a path failure. Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and overtravel
stop, power outage and restart.
Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.
System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the
implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of the link.

Environmental Characteristics
Enclosure Requirements
TM3 expansion module components are designed as Zone B, Class A industrial equipment
according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. If they are used in environments other than those
described in these standards, or in environments that do not meet the specifications in this manual
the ability to meet electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the presence of conducted and/or
radiated interference may be reduced.
All TM3 expansion module components meet European Community (CE) requirements for open
equipment as defined by IEC/EN 61131-2. You must install them in an enclosure designed for the
specific environmental conditions and to minimize the possibility of unintended contact with
hazardous voltages. Use metal enclosures to improve the electromagnetic immunity of your TM3
expansion module components. Use enclosures with a keyed locking mechanism to minimize
unauthorized access.
Environmental Characteristics
All the TM3 expansion module components are electrically isolated between the internal electronic
circuit and the input/output channels. This equipment meets CE requirements as indicated in the
table below. This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment.
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Do not exceed any of the rated values specified in the environmental and electrical characteristics
tables.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
