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 prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. 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. NOTE: See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure. Also, see the appropriate sections in this publication, as well as the Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1 ("Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines"), for additional installation requirements pertaining to this equipment. Use the redundant ControlNet™ barrier module to interconnect between ControlNet and ControlNet Ex™ networks.

Position the ControlNet Ex barrier module (A) on a 35 x 7.5mm DIN rail (B) (A-B pt. no. 199-DR1) at a slight angle. 2. Hook the lip on the rear of the barrier (A) onto the top of the DIN rail (B), and rotate the module onto the rail. 3. Press the barrier module down onto the DIN rail until flush. 4. The locking tab (C) should snap into position and lock the barrier module to the DIN rail. 5. If the barrier module does not snap into position, use a screwdriver or similar device to move the locking tab down while pressing the barrier module flush onto the DIN rail. Release the locking tab to lock the module in place. 6. If necessary, push up on the locking tab to lock. 7. Make certain that you only connect the ControlNet Ex side of the 1797-BCNR to 1797 ControlNet taps with either a 1797-ACNR15 or a 1797-TCAP attched.

Wiring methods must be in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, Article 504 and 505 or the Canadian Electric Code CSA C22.1, Part 1, Appendix F. For additional information refer to ANSI/ISA RP12.6. WARNING: Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety. AVERTISSEMENT: La substitution de composant peut compromettre la securite intrinseque. If fiber optic cable is provided with a metal shield, it must be connected to a dedicated intrinsic safety ground in the non-hazardous location and tied back in the hazardous location or be connected to a ground in the hazardous location and tied back in the non-hazardous location. The glass fiber must have a minimum diameter of 6μm. ➅For Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, G and Class III, modules must be installed in a UL listed Type 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 9, 12, or 12K enclosure. (The power supply does not need to be put into an additional enclosure. Refer to the power supply section of this manual for more information.) ➆Any combination of up to eight FLEX Ex I/O modules may be connected. This includes using 1794-CE3, 1797-CE3, 1794-CE1, and 1797-CE1 cables. ➇The ambient temperature range (Tamb) for this system is -20oC to 70oC. ➈Channel B is intended for a redundant connection and is identical to the channel A configuration.

The 1797-BCNR must be installed in safe, Zone 2 or Division 2 areas. Isolator Boot for ControlNet Ex The isolator boot for the ControlNet Ex 1797-BCNR connectors can only be removed when a ControlNet Ex trunk cable is connected. Any unused connector on the ControlNet side must have its insulator boot installed. The ControlNet Ex connection must not be connected to any signals which exceed the intrinsically safe values of the ControlNet Ex network. WARNING Avoid electrostatic charging. ADVERTÊNCIA!
