About the End Caps/Terminators

The 1769 Compact I/O™ controllers, such as the 1769-L32E, require end caps. A 1769-ECR
right end cap, a 1769-ECRK right end cap, a 1769-ECLK left end cap, or a1769-ECL left end
cap terminates the end of the communication bus. Use this guide to install either end cap.

Environment and Enclosure

ATTENTION:
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage
Category II applications (as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 meters
(6562 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR
Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to conducted as well as radiated
disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within an enclosure
that is suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that will be present and
appropriately designed to help prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts.
The enclosure must have suitable flame-retardant properties to help prevent or minimize the
spread of flame, complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if non-
metallic. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent
sections of this publication may contain additional information regarding specific enclosure type
ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for additional installation
requirements, Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1.
• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable, for explanations of
the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge

ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause internal
damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.

European Hazardous Location Approval—1769-ECR and 1769-ECRK

The following applies to products marked , II 3 G. Such modules:
• Are Equipment Group II, Equipment Category 3, and comply with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements relating to the
design and construction of such equipment given in Annex II to Directive 2014/34/EU. See the EC Declaration of Conformity at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/products/certification for details.
• The type of protection used is ‘Ex nA IIC T4 Gc’ according to EN 60079-15.
• Comply to Standards: EN 60079-0:2012+A11:2013, EN 60079-15:2010, reference certificate number DEMKO12ATEX1116807X.
• Modules are intended for use in areas in which explosive atmospheres caused by gases, vapors, mists, or air or dust mixtures are
unlikely to occur, or are likely to occur only infrequently and for short periods. Such locations correspond to Zone 2 classification
according to ATEX directive 2014/34/EU.

IEC Hazardous Location Approval—1769-ECR and 1769-ECRK

The following applies to products with IECEx certification. Such modules:
• Are intended for use in areas in which explosive atmospheres caused by gases, vapors, mists, or air are unlikely to occur, or are
likely to occur only infrequently and for short periods. Such locations correspond to Zone 2 classification to IEC 60079-0.
• The type of protection is ‘Ex nA IIC T4 Gc’ according to IEC 60079-15.
• Comply to Standards: IEC 60079-0:6th edition, IEC-60079-15:4th Edition, reference IECEx certificate number IECEx UL 20.0078X.

WARNING: Special Conditions for Safe Use

• Equipment is not resistant to sunlight or other sources of UV radiation.
• Equipment shall be mounted in an ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 certified enclosure with a minimum
ingress protection rating of at least IP54 (as defined in EN/IEC 60529) and used in an
environment of not more than Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in EN/IEC 60664-1) when
applied in Zone 2 environments. The enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool.
• Equipment shall be used within its specified ratings defined by Rockwell Automation.
• Provision shall be made to prevent the rated voltage from being exceeded by transient
disturbances of more than 140% of the rated voltage when applied in Zone 2 environments.
• Equipment must be used only with ATEX/IECEx certified Rockwell Automation backplanes.
• Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been removed or the area is known to
be nonhazardous.
