The ambient temperature range is -25...+60 °C (-13...+140 °F) for all models.

Essential Health and Safety Requirements:

Met by compliance with the standards EN 60079-0: 2012 + A11:2013, EN 60079-15: 2010 and IEC 60079-0: Edition 6, IEC 60079-15:

Edition 4.

Special Conditions for Safe Use:

• All models: the ambient temperature range is -25 ...+60 °C (-13...+140 °F)

• Subject devices are to be installed in an ATEX/IECEx Certified, IP54, tool accessible enclosure that has been evaluated to the

requirements of

EN 60079-0: 2012 + A11:2013, EN 60079-15: 2010 and IEC 60079-0: Edition 6, IEC 60079-15: Edition 4. Enclosure is to be marked

with the following: "Warning - Do not open when energized". After installation of subject devices into the enclosure, access to

termination compartments shall be dimensioned so that conductors can be readily connected. Grounding conductor should

have a minimum cross sectional area of 3.31 mm² (12 AWG).

• Subject devices are for use in an area of not more than pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC 60664-1.

• Subject devices are to use conductors with a minimum conductor temperature rating of 85 °C (185 °F).

• Subject devices are to be installed in the vertical orientation only.

WARNING:

• This equipment shall be mounted in an ATEX-certified enclosure with a minimum ingress protection rating of at least

IP54

(as defined in IEC60529) and used in an environment of not more than Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in IEC 60664-1)

when applied in Zone 2 environments. The enclosure must have a tool-removable cover or door.

• This equipment shall be used within its specified ratings defined by Rockwell Automation.

• Provision shall be made to prevent the rated voltage from being exceeded by transient disturbances of more than 140%

of the rated voltage when applied in Zone 2 environments.

• This equipment must be used only with ATEX certified Rockwell Automation Termination Assemblies.

• Secure any external connections that mate to this equipment by using screws, sliding latches, threaded connectors, or

other means provided with this product.

• Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous.

• Enclosure must be marked with the following: 'Warning - Do not open when energized.' After installation of equipment

into the enclosure, access to termination compartments shall be dimensioned so that conductors can be readily

connected.
