POINT I/O Output Module 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-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/) describes some important differences between solid- state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices.
POINT I/O Output Module Environment and Enclosure ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in EN/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.

POINT I/O Output Module 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.
POINT I/O Output Module Before You Begin You can use these Series C POINT I/O™ Output modules with DeviceNet and PROFIBUS adapters. If you are using RSLogix 5000® software, version 11 or higher, you can also use the Series C modules with ControlNet and Ethernet adapters. Use this diagram to identify the external features of the module.
POINT I/O Output Module 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.
POINT I/O Output Module 3. Insert the module straight down into the mounting base. 4. Press to secure. The module locks into place. Install the Removable Terminal Block A Removable Terminal Block (RTB) is supplied with your wiring base assembly. To remove, pull up on the RTB handle.
