ArmorPoint I/O Modules with 8 Configurable 24V DC Points 3 Environment and Enclosure ATTENTION This equipment is intended for use in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating. This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR 11.
ArmorPoint I/O Modules with 8 Configurable 24V DC Points About the Module The ArmorPoint I/O family consists of modular I/O modules. The sealed IP67 housing of these modules requires no enclosure. Note that environmental requirements other than IP67 may require an additional appropriate housing. I/O connectors are sealed M8 (pico), M12 (micro) or M23 styles. The mounting base ships with the module.
ArmorPoint I/O Modules with 8 Configurable 24V DC Points 5 Mount the I/O Base Mount the I/O base on a wall or panel, using the screw holes provided in the base. The ArmorPoint I/O module must be mounted on a grounded metal mounting plate or other conductive surface. IMPORTANT ATTENTION ATTENTION Make sure all connectors and caps are securely tightened to properly seal the connections against leaks and maintain IP enclosure type requirements.
ArmorPoint I/O Modules with 8 Configurable 24V DC Points Install the mounting as follows: 1. Lay out the required points as shown above in the drilling dimension drawing. 2. Drill the necessary holes for M4 (#8) machine or self-tapping screws. 3. Mount the base using M4 (#8) screws. 4. Ground the system using the ground lug connection. The ground lug connection is also a mounting hole.
