Environment and Enclosure Information
Review the information on enclosures and environments before installing the product.
Before You Begin
Before unpacking the product, inspect the shipping carton for damage. If damage is visible,
immediately contact the shipper and request assistance. Otherwise, proceed with unpacking.
Keep the original packing material in case you need to return the product for repair or transport
it to another location. Use both the inner and outer packing cartons to be sure of adequate
protection for a unit returned for service.
ATTENTION:
Environment and Enclosure
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in
overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to
2000 m (6561 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR
Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to conducted as well as radiated
disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. UL recognized and hazardous location
equipment must be mounted in an enclosure that is suitably designed or rated for those
specific environmental conditions that will be present, and designed to prevent personal
injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. UL Listed equipment need not be mounted
inside another enclosure in ordinary (nonhazardous) locations if NEMA Type and IEC ratings
are not required, but the mounting method must limit the tilt of the product to +/- 60° from
vertical. Examples include articulated arm, table-top stand, or other means having sufficient
mechanical stability. The mounting means must be firmly attached to the supporting surface
using screws, bolts, or clamps so the monitor cannot tip. Units ship with a gasketed bezel to
meet specified NEMA and IEC ratings only when mounted in a panel or enclosure with an
equivalent rating. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information
regarding specific enclosure-type ratings required to comply with certain product safety
certifications.
In addition to this publication, see the following:

Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Allen-Bradley publication
•
NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable, for
explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure
