Note 1. Only shielded twisted pair
cables should be used for
connections. Shields should be
left open at the field end and 
connected to chassis ground at the
ground screws on the backplane.

Notes related to
CSA certification
for this module.
Note 2. Maximum non-
hazardous area voltage 
must not exceed 250 V.
Note 4. Install in 
accordance with the NEC 
(ANSI/NFPA 70) and 
ANSI/ISA RP 12.6 for 
installation in the United 
States.
Note 5. To maintain 
intrinsic safety, shield for 
each cable must be 
grounded and must 
extend as close to the 
terminals as possible.
Note 7. I.S. devices when 
connected to I.S. termi-
nals must satisfy the fol-
