Safety Guidelines and Warranties/Metric ConversionsApplication Considerations
Selection of Equipment—Because of the variety of uses for the products described in this catalog, those responsible for the application and use of this control equipment must satisfy themselves that all necessary steps have been taken to assure each application and use meets all performance and safety requirements, including any applicable laws, regulations, codes and standards.
The illustrations, charts and layout examples shown in this catalog are intended solely for purposes of example. Because there are many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation does not assume responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property liability) for actual use based upon the examples shown in this publication.
Rockwell Automation Publication SGI-1.1, "Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid-state Control" (available from your local Rockwell Automation Sales 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 catalog.
Service and Installation Conditions—Unless otherwise noted, the products described in this catalog 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 protection by proper mounting in enclosures designed for specific application conditions.
See IEC Enclosures and NEMA Enclosures of this section for information on enclosures and an explanation of the degrees of protection provided by the different types, based on NEMA Standards Publication 250 and IEC Publication 529, as applicable.
Performance Data—Performance data given in this catalog is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitability and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of accelerated testing at elevated stress levels, and the user should correlate it to actual application requirements. Actual performance is subject to Rockwell Automation WARRANTY and LIMIT OF LIABILITY (see Terms and Conditions of Sale).
