NOTICE
There is a possibility of damage to the environment, equipment or data.
2.2 Intended use
The CP-Link4 transmitter box CU8803-000x is designed for DIN rail mounting in control cabinets of machine
and system engineering. It is used to operate a Control Panel CP29xx-0010, CP39xx-0010 or
CPX39xx-0010 at a distance of up to 100m from the industrial PC. The transmitter box can be used in
hazardous areas and is ATEX and IECEx certified.
The transmitter box is designed for a working environment that meets the IP20 protection rating. This
involves finger protection and protection against solid foreign objects up to 12.5mm. There is no protection
against water. Operation of the devices in wet and dusty environments is not permitted.
The specified limits for technical data must be adhered to.
The transmitter box can be used within the documented operating conditions.

2.3 Fundamental safety instructions
The following safety instructions must be observed when handling the transmitter box.
Application conditions
• Do not use the transmitter box under extreme environmental conditions.
• Only use the transmitter box in hazardous areas if it is explicitly designed for this purpose.
• Never plug or unplug connectors during thunderstorms. There is a risk of electric shock.
• Provide protective grounding for the transmitter box.
Damage to property and impairment of functions
• Ensure that only trained specialists with a control and automation engineering background, operate the
PC to which the transmitter box is connected. Use by unauthorized persons can lead to damage to
property.
• Fuse the power supply line with max. 16A. The fuse serves to protect the supply line in the event of a
short circuit.
• In case of fire, extinguish the transmitter box with powder or nitrogen.
2.3.1 Special requirements (ATEX)
WARNING
Risk of explosion
Gases can be ignited in hazardous areas. Read and follow the safety instructions to avoid deflagration or
explosion.
The device must be installed in a suitable housing with IP54 protection rating according to EN 60079-15,
taking into account the environmental conditions in which the device will be used.
Precautions are to be taken to prevent the nominal voltage from being exceeded by transient disturbances in
excess of 119V.
Observe the permissible ambient temperature range of 0-55°C for the use of CU8803 in hazardous areas.
Secure the USB connector to the bracket with cable ties.
The device may only be used in an area with a maximum degree of pollution of 2 according to IEC 60664-7.
