FLEX I/O EtherNet/IP Adapters Installation Instructions

Environment and Enclosure

ATTENTION: 

This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in EN/

IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.

This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments and may not provide adequate protection to radio communication services in such 

environments.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment for indoor use. It must be mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific 

environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The 

enclosure must have suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame, complying with a flame spread rating of 

5V A or be approved for the application if nonmetallic. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of 

this publication may contain more information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety 

certifications.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 

1770-4.1

, for additional installation requirements.

• NEMA Standard 250 and EN/IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by enclosures.

ATTENTION: 

Read this document and the documents listed in the Additional Resources section about installation, configuration, and operation of this 

equipment before you install, configure, operate, or maintain this product. Users are required to familiarize themselves with installation and wiring 

instructions in addition to requirements of all applicable codes, laws, and standards.

Installation, adjustments, putting into service, use, assembly, disassembly, and maintenance are required to be carried out by suitably trained personnel in 

accordance with applicable code of practice. 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.

North American Hazardous Location Approval

The Following Information Applies When Operating This Equipment In 

Hazardous Locations.

Informations sur l’utilisation de cet équipement en environnements dangereux.

Products marked "CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D" are suitable for use in Class I Division 2 

Groups A, B, C, D, Hazardous Locations and nonhazardous locations only. Each 

product is supplied with markings on the rating nameplate indicating the 

hazardous location temperature code. When combining products within a system, 

the most adverse temperature code (lowest "T" number) may be used to help 

determine the overall temperature code of the system. Combinations of equipment 

in your system are subject to investigation by the local Authority Having 

Jurisdiction at the time of installation.

Les produits marqués "CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D" ne conviennent qu'à une utilisation en 

environnements de Classe I Division 2 Groupes A, B, C, D dangereux et non dangereux. 

Chaque produit est livré avec des marquages sur sa plaque d'identification qui indiquent le 

code de température pour les environnements dangereux. Lorsque plusieurs produits sont 

combinés dans un système, le code de température le plus défavorable (code de 

température le plus faible) peut être utilisé pour déterminer le code de température global 

du système. Les combinaisons d'équipements dans le système sont sujettes à inspection 

par les autorités locales qualifiées au moment de l'installation.

WARNING:

Explosion Hazard –

• Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been 

removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous. 

• Do not disconnect connections to this equipment unless 

power has been removed or the area is known to be 

nonhazardous. Secure any external connections that 

mate to this equipment by using screws, sliding latches, 

threaded connectors, or other means provided with this 

product.

• Substitution of components may impair suitability for 

Class I, Division 2.

AVERTISSEMENT:

Risque d’Explosion – 

• Couper le courant ou s'assurer que l'environnement est classé 

non dangereux avant de débrancher l'équipement.

• Couper le courant ou s'assurer que l'environnement est classé 

non dangereux avant de débrancher les connecteurs. Fixer tous 

les connecteurs externes reliés à cet équipement à l'aide de vis, 

loquets coulissants, connecteurs filetés ou autres moyens 

fournis avec ce produit.

• La substitution de composants peut rendre cet équipement 

inadapté à une utilisation en environnement de Classe I, Division 

2.
