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