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 SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell 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

1. Rotate keyswitch (1) on terminal base unit (2) clockwise to position 2 as
required for this type of module.
Do not change the position of the keyswitch after wiring the
terminal base unit.
2. Make certain the flexbus connector (3) is pushed all the way to the left to
connect with the neighboring terminal base/adapter.
You cannot install the module unless the connector is fully extended.
3. Make sure the pins on the bottom of the module are straight so they will
align properly with the connector in the terminal base unit.
4. Position the module (4) with its alignment bar (5) aligned with the groove
(6) on the terminal base.
5. Press firmly and evenly to seat the module in the terminal base unit.
The module is seated when the latching mechanism (7) is locked into
the module.
6. Make certain that you only connect terminal base units to other intrinsi-
cally safe system modules or adapters to maintain the integrity of the
intrinsically-safe backplane.
ATTENTION
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 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.

European Communities (EC) Directive Compliance
If this product has the CE mark it is approved for installation within the
European Union and EEA regions. It has been designed and tested to meet
the following directives.
EMC Directive
These products are tested to meet the Council Directive 2014/30/EU by
applying the following standards:
•EN 61000-6-4:2007, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - Part 6-4:
