Precautions

Static Discharge Precautions

These items are cautionary notes to help prevent equipment damage or loss of data caused by static discharge.
Static charges produce voltages high enough to damage electronic components. The
Caution •
microprocessors and associated circuitry within a Remote I/O Module are sensitive to static
discharge. Follow these precautions when installing, servicing, or operating the system:
Work in a static-free area.
•
Discharge any static electricity you may have accumulated. Discharge static electricity by touching
•
a known, securely grounded object.
Do not handle the printed circuit board (PCB) without proper protection against static discharge.
•
Use a wrist strap when handling PCBs, with the wrist strap clamp secured to earth ground.
Module Connection Precautions
Do not connect more than the maximum number of IO-R-16 modules to the RS-485 port of the parent
Caution
EC-BOS—note that 16 is the maximum number supported in software. However, less IO-R-16 modules
may be supported. See
Do not connect more than maximum allowed (see
Caution
Overloading may cause overheating or blowing an internal, non-replaceable fuse.
Connect S terminal wiring as shown in

as reference ground between isolated RS-485 ports on EC-BOS-8 and IO-R-16 and IO-R-34 modules.

WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment)

Recycling of Electronic Products: (International Installations):
In 2006 the European Union adopted regulations (WEEE) for the collection and recycling of all waste electrical and
electronic equipment. It is no longer allowable to simply throw away such equipment. Instead, these products must
enter the recycling process. To properly dispose of this product, please take it to a local recycling center. If a local
recycling center cannot be found, please return it to one of these offices:
