Installation Requirements

Before Starting

Read and understand this chapter before beginning the installation of your TM7 System.

 DANGER
POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSION
  • Use devices with explosion protection as intended according to these operation instructions and corresponding documents.
  • Conform to valid safety and accident prevention regulations and adhere to standards such as IEC/EN 60079-14.
  • Be sure that all other associated equipment, such as cables and connectors, are also suitable for the operating location.
  • Ground all devices, using a metal plate, terminal strip or mounting plate securely connected to the housing back plate, to an equalized potential.
  • Disconnect all power from all equipment including connected devices prior to removing any covers or doors, or installing or removing any accessories, hardware, cables, or wires except under the specific conditions specified in the appropriate hardware guide for this equipment.
  • Devices must remain voltage free until all installation or maintenance work is completed.
  • Remove as necessary dust collecting on devices that can cause explosions.
  • Be sure that all connectors and sealing plugs on the M8 and M12 connectors are in place and fastened with a torque between 0.2 and 0.4 Nm (1.8 and 3.5 lbf-in) before applying any power.
  • Be sure that all connectors are firmly sealed with either properly wired connectors or sealing plugs before applying power during regular operation.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
  • Do not touch the pin connectors of the block.
  • Keep the cables or sealing plugs in place during normal operation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Programming Considerations

 WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
  • Only use software approved by Schneider Electric for use with this equipment.
  • Update your application program every time you change the physical hardware configuration.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Operating Environment

 DANGER
POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSION
  • Only use this equipment in non-hazardous locations or in locations that comply either with the Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D, or with the ATEX Group II, Zone 2 specifications for hazardous locations, depending on your local and/or national regulations.
  • Do not substitute components which would impair compliance to the hazardous location specifications of this equipment.
  • Do not connect or disconnect equipment unless power has been removed or the location is known to be non-hazardous.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTE: Additional equipment used in conjunction with the equipment described herein must also be suitable for the operating location.

Requirements for use in ATEX Group II, Zone 2:

  • Install and use the equipment strictly in accordance to the installation and operating instructions found here and in other related documentation.

  • Respect and follow all valid safety and accident prevention regulations, as well as adhering to standards such as IEC/EN 60079-14 or those that govern the location of your application.

  • All equipment must be grounded to an equipotential ground plane dimensioned to the power system of your application.

  • Equipment must remain unpowered until installation work is completed, including all cable connections with the proper torque having been applied to all connector unions.

  • Before applying power, be sure that all connectors that are not being used (open connectors with no cable attached) are capped with suitable sealing plugs.

  • During service or maintenance, the equipment must be shut down and protected from being accidently restarted.

  • Do not connect or disconnect cables or sealing plugs under power.

 WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Install and operate this equipment according to the conditions described in the Environmental Characteristics.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
NOTE: Individual modules may differ in terms of operating temperature de-ratings or other important environmental characteristics. For the specific information, refer to the hardware guide for your particular module.

Installation Considerations

 WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
  • Use the sensor and actuator power supplies only for supplying power to the sensors or actuators connected to the module.
  • Power line and output circuits must be wired and fused in compliance with local and national regulatory requirements for the rated current and voltage of the particular equipment.
  • Do not use this equipment in safety-critical machine functions unless the equipment is otherwise designated as functional safety equipment and conforming to applicable regulations and standards.
  • Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this equipment.
  • Do not connect any wiring to reserved, unused connections, or to connections designated as No Connection (N.C.).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
NOTE: Use UL-recognized and CSA approved JDYX2 or JDYX8 fuse types.
