If non-assigned plug connectors are touched, there is a
danger that damage may occur to the MTR-DCI or to other
parts of the system as a result of ESD (electrostatic dis-
charge). Place protective caps on unused connections in
order to prevent such discharges.
The plug connectors of the following Festo cables have been
designed so that, when inserted and screwed tight, or if fitted
with protective covers, the connections on the MTR-DCI will
comply with protection class IP54.
