Directive 2002/95/EC—commonly known as the European Union (EU) Restrict ion
on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of certain substances
found in electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of thislegislation is to
reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of landfill sites or
otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive,
which took effect on July 1, 2006, refers to the following hazardous substances:
Lead (Pb)
Mercury (Hg)
Cadmium (Cd)
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
Po l yb r o m i n at e d Bi p h en y l s ( PBB)
Po l yb r o m i n at e d D i p h en y l Et h er s (PBDE)
According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union will be fully
Ro H S- c o m p l i an t a n d “ l ead - f r ee . ” (See o u r w e b si t e f o r m o r e i n f o r m a t i o n o n d a t es
and deadlines for compliance.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of
equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation. Equipment
that complieswith theEU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant emblem,
as show n in Fi g u re P- 1 .

Directive is to assign t he responsibilit y for the disposal of associated hazardous
waste to either the producersor usersof these products. Effective August 13,
2005, producers or users are required to recycle electrical and electronic
equipment at end of its useful life, and may not dispose of t he equipment in
landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU member states may
have different deadlines.)
In accordance wit h this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic devices
in the EU will affix labels indicating that such products must be properly recycled.
(See our w ebsite for more inf ormation on dates and deadlines for compliance.)
Contact your local sales representative for inf ormation on returning these products

Sit ing
Requirement s
Make sure that the following siting requirementsare appropriate for your
installation.
Adequate Rack
Space
The RCP- IDe LCD con t ro l panel is d esig n ed f or mou nt ing int o a st andard w i dt h
19-in. (48.3-cm) rack. Frames are secured to the rack with standard
front-mounting ears built into the chassis. Make sure to provide adequate space
behind the mounting ears, and appropriate clearance for the connecting cables at
the rear of the frame.
Pro per
Te m p e r a t u r e
An ambient temperature should be maintained between 32°F(0°C) and 122°F
(50°C) at a relative humidity of 10% -90% (non-condensing). No special cooling
arrangements are necessary, but make sure t o prevent excessive ambient heat rise
in closed, unventilated equipment racks.
Elect rical
Requirement s
Load Limi t at i on s
The RCP- IDe LCD con t ro l panel h old s o n e in t er nal po w er sup ply un it (PSU). The
power consumption is 45 W maximum. A fully loaded frame operates with a single
power supply.
Maximum Power Dissipation
These rat in gs ref er t o t he t ot al m odul e p ow er co nsum pt io n (excl udin g t hat o f t he
power supply) allowable within the RCP-IDe LCD control panel. The limits are
based on the ability of the unit to dissipate heat over a temperature range of 32°
to 122°F(0° to 50°C).
