FLEX 5000 EtherNet/IP Adapters with RJ45 Ports
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
Electrical Safety Considerations
WARNING:
Special Conditions for Safe Use:
• This equipment shall be mounted in an ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 certified enclosure with a minimum ingress protection rating of at least IP54 (in accordance with
EN/IEC 60079-15) and used in an environment of not more than Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in EN/IEC 60664-1) when applied in Zone 2 environments. The
enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool.
• 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 peak rated voltage when
applied in Zone 2 environments.
• The instructions in the user manual shall be observed.
• This equipment must be used only with ATEX/IECEx certified Rockwell Automation backplanes.
• 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.
• The installer shall ensure that the service temperature of the suitably-certified enclosure and the “maximum ambient” temperature of the module when
installed is not exceeded.
ATTENTION:
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines when
you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.
ATTENTION:
• All wiring must comply with applicable electrical installation requirements (e.g., N.E.C. article 501-4(b)).
• Wire conductor and insulation ratings shall support minimum temperature rating of 85 °C (185 °F).
• Do not wire more than 2 conductors on any terminal.
• In case of malfunction or damage, no attempts at repair should be made. The module should be returned to the manufacturer for repair. Do not dismantle the
module.
• This equipment is certified for use only within the surrounding air temperature range of -40…+70 °C (-40…+158 °F). The equipment must not be used
outside of this range.
• Use only a soft dry anti-static cloth to wipe down equipment. Do not use any cleaning agents.
WARNING:
• If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is on, an electric arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
• When used in a Class I, Division 2, hazardous location, this equipment must be mounted in a suitable enclosure with proper wiring method that complies
with the governing electrical codes.
• Do not connect directly to line voltage. Line voltage must be supplied by a suitable, approved isolating transformer.
IMPORTANT
Any illustrations, charts, sample programs, and layout examples shown in this publication are intended solely for the purposes of example. Since there are
many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation does not assume responsibility or liability for actual use
based upon the examples shown in this publication.
At the end of its life, this equipment should be collected separately from any unsorted municipal waste.
