Important Safety and Product Information

Important User Information

This guide has been developed as a quick reference tool to Allen-Bradley industrial automation controls and factory assemblies. It is not intended to replace factory user manuals or technical documentation supplied with Allen-Bradley equipment.

Because of the variety of uses for the products described in this publication, those responsible for the application and use of these products must satisfy themselves that all necessary steps have been taken to assure that each application and use meets all performance and safety requirements, including any applicable laws, regulations, codes, and standards. Factory provided user manuals and technical documentation should not be solely relied on for those purposes.

Rockwell Automation reserves the right to change the features or characteristics of its products at any time. Therefore, the information contained in this publication is subject to change at any time without notice.

The illustrations, charts, diagrams, and layout examples shown in this guide are intended solely as examples. Since there are many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation does not assume responsibility or liability (including intellectual property infringement liability) for actual use based upon the examples shown in this publication.

Allen-Bradley Publication SGI-1.1 "General Information Safety Guidelines for Solid-State Control" (available from your local Rockwell Automation office) describes some important differences between solid-state equipment and electromechanical devices, which should be taken into consideration when applying products such as those described in this publication.

Conformal Coating Offering

Rockwell Automation offers a conformal coating solution on selected Allen-Bradley products to help satisfy customers who demand that their automation equipment have additional protection against corrosive elements, such as sulfuric acid, chlorine, fungus, salt, and other chemicals and gases.

Rockwell Automation reviews conformal coating opportunities on an individual basis and provides customer pricing. To receive a quote, please contact your local Rockwell Automation Sales Office.

Service and Installation Conditions

Unless otherwise noted, the products described in this publication are designed to meet "usual service and installation conditions" as defined in NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) Standards Publication - Part ICS 1-108. Open-style devices must be provided with environmental and safety protection by proper mounting in enclosures designed for specific application conditions. See NEMA Standards Publication 250 and IEC Publication 529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosures.

Performance Data

Performance data given in this publication is provided only as a guide for the user in determining suitability and do not constitute a performance warranty of any kind. Such data may represent the results of accelerated testing at elevated stress levels, and the user is responsible for correlating the data to actual application requirements.
