graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

Battery
This device is equipped with a Lithium battery. Batteries may only be replaced by qualified
personnel.
ESD directives
CAUTION
There is the risk of an explosion if the battery is not replaced as directed. Replace only with
the same type or with an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of
used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
WARNING
Risk of explosion and release of harmful substances!
Therefore, do not throw Lithium batteries into an open fire, do not solder or open the cell
body, do not short-circuit or reverse polarity, do not heat up above 100° C, dispose of in
accordance with regulations and protect against direct exposure to sunlight, moisture and
condensation.
Modules containing electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDs) can be identified by the following
label:
Strictly follow the guidelines mentioned below when handling modules which are sensitive to
ESD:
● Always discharge your body´s static electricity before handling modules that are sensitive
to ESD (for example, by touching a grounded object).
● All devices and tools must be free of static charge.
● Always pull the mains connector and disconnect the battery before you install or remove
modules which are sensitive to ESD.
● Handle modules fitted with ESDs by their edges only.
● Do not touch any wiring posts or conductors on modules containing ESDs.

Application planning
4.1 Transport
Despite the device's rugged design, its internal components are sensitive to severe
vibrations or shock. You must therefore protect the PC from severe mechanical stress when
transporting it.
You should always use the original packaging for shipping and transporting the device.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to the device!
When transporting the PC in cold weather, it may be submitted to extreme variations in
temperature. In this situation, ensure that no moisture (condensation) develops on or inside
the device.
If condensation has developed on the device, wait at least 12 hours before you switch it on.

4.2 Unpacking and checking the delivery unit
Unpacking the device
Note the following points when you unpack the unit
● It is advisable not to dispose of the original packing material. Keep it in case you have to
transport the unit again.
● Please keep the documentation in a safe place. It is required for initial commissioning and
is part of the device.
● Check the delivery unit for any visible transport damage.
● Verify that the shipment contains the complete unit and your separately ordered
accessories. Please inform your local dealer of any disagreements or transport damage.
● Please inform Siemens AG by means of the enclosed SIMATIC IPC/PG quality control
report form.

4.3 Ambient and environmental conditions
4.3 Ambient and environmental conditions
When you plan your project, you should make allowances for:
● Observe the climatic and mechanical environmental conditions in the technical data in
your operating instructions.
● Avoid extreme ambient conditions as far as possible. Protect your device against dust,
moisture and heat.
● The device is designed for use in normal industrial environments to IEC 60721-3-3
(pollutant class 3C2 for chemical influence, 3S2 for sand and dust.) SIMATIC Rack PCs
may not be operated in severe environments which are subject to caustic vapors or
gases without taking additional protective measures (such as the provision of clean air.)
● Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
● Install the device in such a way that it poses no danger, for example, by falling over.
● The device conforms to protection class IP41 at the front panel. Ensure that the
installation opening for the device is splash-proof in areas which may be subject to splash
water.
● Always maintain a minimum clearance of 50 mm to the area of the ventilation slots in
order to ensure adequate ventilation of the PC.
● Do not cover the ventilation slots of the enclosure.
● The device meets requirements for fire protection housings to EN 60950-1 and can be
installed without additional fire protection enclosure.
● The connected or built-in peripherals should not introduce a counter emf in excess of
0.5 V into the device.
WARNING
Failure to comply with these requirements for system installation shall render approvals
to UL 60950-1, EN 60950-1 void and leads to the risk of overheating and injury!
