Device Safety Considerations
Reading these Instructions
Before operating the device, read these instructions carefully and understand their safety implications. In some
situations, improperly using this device may result in damage or injury. Keep this manual in a convenient location
for future reference. Note that these instructions may not cover all details or variations in equipment or cover every
possible situation regarding installation, operation, or maintenance. Should problems arise that are not covered
sufficiently in the text, immediately contact Customer Support for further information.
Protecting Operating Processes
A failure of this device — for whatever reason -- may leave an operating process without appropriate protection and
could result in possible damage to property or injury to persons. To protect against this, you should review the
need for additional backup equipment or provide alternate means of protection (such as alarm devices, output
limiting, fail-safe valves, relief valves, emergency shutoffs, emergency switches, etc.). Contact Remote
Automation Solutions for additional information.
Returning Equipment
If you need to return any equipment to Remote Automation Solutions, it is your responsibility to ensure that the
equipment has been cleaned to safe levels, as defined and/or determined by applicable federal, state and/or local
law regulations or codes. You also agree to indemnify Remote Automation Solutions and hold Remote Automation
Solutions harmless from any liability or damage which Remote Automation Solutions may incur or suffer due to
your failure to ensure device cleanliness.
Grounding Equipment
Ground metal enclosures and exposed metal parts of electrical instruments in accordance with OSHA rules and
regulations as specified in Design Safety Standards for Electrical Systems, 29 CFR, Part 1910, Subpart S, dated: April
16, 1981 (OSHA rulings are in agreement with the National Electrical Code). You must also ground mechanical or
pneumatic instruments that include electrically operated devices such as lights, switches, relays, alarms, or chart
drives.
Important: Complying with the codes and regulations of authorities having jurisdiction is essential to ensuring
personnel safety. The guidelines and recommendations in this manual are intended to meet or exceed applicable
codes and regulations. If differences occur between this manual and the codes and regulations of authorities
having jurisdiction, those codes and regulations must take precedence.
Protecting from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
This device contains sensitive electronic components which be damaged by exposure to an ESD voltage.
Depending on the magnitude and duration of the ESD, it can result in erratic operation or complete failure of the
equipment. Ensure that you correctly care for and handle ESD-sensitive components.

program, calibrate, and trouble-shoot your Emerson equipment provides your engineers and technicians with the skills
and confidence to optimize your investment. Remote Automation Solutions offers a variety of ways for your personnel
