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-1.1available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://www.literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes some important differences betweensolid
state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also
because of the wide variety ofuses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this
equipment mustsatisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.

Environment and Enclosure
ATTENTIO
N
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.
Besides this publication, see:
•Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding
Guidelines, Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1, for
additional installation requirements.
•NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication
60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees
of protection provided by different types of
enclosure.

supplied with markings on the rating nameplate indicating
the hazardous location temperature code. When
combining products within a system, the most adverse
temperature code (lowest “T” number) may be used to
help determine the overall temperature code of the

environnements dangereux. Lorsque plusieurs produits sont
combinés dans un système, le code de température le plus
défavorable (code de température le plus faible)peut être
utilisé pour déterminer le code de température global du
système. Les combinaisons d’équipements dans le système

Install the Mounting Base
To install the mounting base on the DIN rail, proceed as follows.
1. Position the mounting base vertically above the installed units
(adapter, power supply, or existing module).
2. Slide the mounting base down, allowing the interlocking side
pieces to engage the adjacent module or adapter.
3. Press firmly to seat the mounting base on the DIN rail.
The mounting base snaps into place.
ATTENTIO
N
POINT I/O is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis
ground. Use zinc-plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to
assure proper grounding. The use of other DIN rail
material (for example, aluminum and plastic) that can
corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in
improper or intermittent grounding.
Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every
200 mm (7.8 in.).
Slide the mounting base to
allow the interlocking side
pieces to engage the
adjacent module or
adapter.

Install the Module
Install the module before or after base installation. Be sure that you
complete the following.
•Correctly key the mounting base before installing the module
into the mounting base.
•Position the mounting base locking screw horizontal
referenced to the base.
ATTENTIO
N
When you insert or remove the module while backplane
power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause
an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is
nonhazardous before proceeding. Repeated electrical
arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may
create electrical resistance that can affect module
operation.

To install the module on the DIN rail, proceed as follows.
1. Use a bladed screwdriver to rotate the keyswitch on the
mounting base clockwise until the number required for the
type of module being installed aligns with the notch in the
base.
2. Be sure the DIN rail locking screw is in the horizontal
position.
If you unlock the locking mechanism, you cannot insert the
module.
