Precautions

Read and understand the following precautions before performing any procedures in this guide.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E, CSA Z462 or NOM-029-STPS. This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified electrical personnel. Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside equipment. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off. Read and understand this entire Instruction bulletin and the latest edition of the included NEMA PB 1.1 standards publication before installing, operating, or maintaining this equipment. Local codes vary, but are adopted and enforced to promote safe electrical installations. A permit may be needed to do electrical work, and some codes may require an inspection of the electrical work. Replace all devices, doors, and covers before turning on power to this equipment. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Qualified Personnel

Only appropriately trained persons who are familiar with and understand the content of this guide and all other related product documentation are authorized to work on and with this product.

The qualified person must be able to detect possible hazards that may arise from modifying parameter values and generally from mechanical, electrical, or electronic equipment. The qualified person must be familiar with the standards, provisions, and regulations for the prevention of industrial accidents, which they must observe when designing and implementing the system.

The use and application of the information contained in this guide requires expertise in the design and programming of automated control systems. Only you, the user, the machine builder, or the integrator, can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during installation, setup, operation, and maintenance of the machine or process, and can therefore determine the automation and associated equipment and the related safeties and interlocks which can be effectively and properly used.

When selecting automation and control equipment (and any other related equipment or software) for a particular application, you must also consider applicable local, regional, or national standards and/or regulations.

Pay particular attention to adhere to any safety information, electrical requirements, and normative standards that apply to your machine or process in the use of this equipment.

Intended Use

The products described in this instruction bulletin, together with software, accessories, and options, are communications and metering devices, intended for industrial use according to the instructions, directions, examples, and safety information contained in this document and other supporting documentation.

The product may only be used in compliance with all applicable safety regulations and directives, the specified requirements, and the technical data.

Before using the product, you must perform a hazard analysis and risk assessment of the planned application. Based on the results, appropriate safety related measures must be implemented.

Since the product is used as a component of a machine or process, you must ensure the safety of persons by means of the overall system design.

Operate the product only with the specified cables and accessories. Use only genuine accessories and spare parts.

Any use other than the use explicitly permitted is prohibited and can result in unanticipated hazards.

Cybersecurity

NOTE: Schneider Electric adheres to industry best practices in the development and implementation of control systems. This includes a “Defense-in-Depth” approach to secure an industrial Control System. This approach places the controllers behind one or more firewalls to restrict access to authorized personnel and protocols only.

WARNING
UnAUTHENTICATED aCCESS AND SUBSEQUENT UNAUTHORIZED MACHINE OPERATION Evaluate whether your environment or your machines are connected to your critical infrastructure and, if so, take appropriate steps in terms of prevention, based on Defense-in-Depth, before connecting the automation system to any network. Limit the number of devices connected to a network inside your company. Isolate your industrial network from other networks inside your company. Protect any network against unintended access by using firewalls, VPN, or other, proven security measures. Monitor activities within your systems. Prevent subject devices from direct access or direct link by unauthorized parties or unauthenticated actions. Prepare a recovery plan including backup of your system and process information. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
