Unpacking and Inspection CAUTION If the RXi2-UP IPC operates in an enhanced ambient temperature up to 65°C (149 ° F), the surface of the enclosure, especially the heat sink, can reach a temperature of 85°C (185 °F) and above. Be careful and do not touch the RXi2-UP IPC with bare fingers.
Any operational system with cables for I/O signals, connectivity, or peripheral devices provides an entry point for ESD and EMI. If Emerson does not manufacture the complete system, including enclosure and cables, it is the responsibility of the system integrator and end-user to protect their system against potential problems.
If evidence of damage or rough handling is found (usually in the form of bent component leads or loose socketed components), notify the shipping service as soon as possible and contact Emerson for additional instructions. Depending on the severity of the damage, it may be necessary to return the product to the factory for repair.
Handling WARNING If the RXi2-UP IPC operates with an enhanced ambient temperature up to 65°C (149 ° F), the surface of the enclosure, especially the heat sink, can reach a temperature of 85°C (185 °F) and above. Be careful and do not touch the RXi2-UP IPC with bare fingers.
