Prevent Electrostatic Discharge; Special Conditions For Safe Use - Allen-Bradley C Series Installation Instructions Manual

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge

ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can
cause internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines
when you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.

Special Conditions for Safe Use

ATTENTION:
• This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc
plated chromate-passivated steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use
of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or 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.) and use end-anchors appropriately. Be sure to ground the DIN rail
properly. Refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
publication 1770-4.1, for more information.
• Do not remove or replace a terminal base unit while power is applied.
Interruption of the backplane can result in unintentional operation or
machine motion.
• Do not remove or replace an Adapter Module while power is applied.
Interruption of the backplane can result in unintentional operation or
machine motion.
• If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
• To reduce susceptibility to noise, power analog modules and digital modules
from separate power supplies.
