Environment And Enclosure; Preventing Electrostatic Discharge - Allen-Bradley 1794-PS3 Installation Instructions Manual

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 60664-1),
at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.
This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments and may not
provide adequate protection to radio communication services in such
environments.
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 enclosure must have suitable
flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame,
complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA or be approved for the application
if nonmetallic. 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.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication
1770-4.1, for additional installation requirements.
• NEMA Standard 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the
degrees of protection provided by enclosures.
