ATTENTION:
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in
overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in EN 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m
(6561 ft) without derating.
This equipment is UL Listed, and considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to
EN/CISPR 32. Without appropriate precautions, there can be potential difficulties with
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to conducted and radiated disturbance.
All VersaView integrated display thin clients and industrial computers are shipped with a gasketed
bezel to meet specified NEMA, UL Type, and IEC IP ratings only when mounted in a panel or
enclosure with an equivalent rating.
This equipment is supplied as an open type equipment. To meet some regulatory requirements,
the equipment must be mounted in an enclosure that is suitably designed for environmental
conditions that can be present and appropriately designed to help prevent personal injury
resulting from accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by
using a tool.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
, Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for more
installation requirements
• NEMA 250 and EN 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection that are
provided by enclosures
ATTENTION:
This equipment is intended to operate in an industrial or control room environment,
which uses some form of power isolation from the public low-voltage mains.
To comply with EN 55024 and EN 55032, all cables, except for the Ethernet cables, must be used
indoors. These cables cannot exit the building at any point and cannot directly connect to cables
outside the building. All I/O cables, except for the Ethernet cables and serial port (COM) cables,
must be less than 3 m (9.842 ft).
