EMC Installation Requirements

To meet EN 55011 and FCC Class A radiated emissions, the Control system in which the IC695PNC001 module is used
shall be mounted in a metal enclosure when three or more IC695PNC001 modules are used. All surfaces of the
enclosure must be adequately grounded to adjacent surfaces to provide electrical conductivity. Wiring external to the
enclosure must be routed in metal conduit or the equivalent. The conduit must be mounted to the enclosure using
standard procedures and hardware to ensure electrical conductivity between the enclosure and conduit.
When installing, operating, or maintaining the IC695PNC001, personnel must insure any electrostatic charge is
discharged through the use of a grounded ESD strap or other means.
General Conditions of Safe Use
This product is intended for use with the RX3i system. Its components are considered open equipment (having live
electrical parts that may be accessible to users) and must be installed in an ultimate enclosure that is manufactured to
provide safety. As a minimum, the enclosure shall provide a degree of protection against solid objects as small as
12mm (e.g. fingers). This equates to a NEMA/UL Type 1 enclosure or an IEC60529 IP20 rating providing at least a
pollution degree 2 environment. For details about installing RX3i rack systems, refer to GFK-2314.
