Before using this product, read the Safety Information, Compliance information and all recommendations related to the
purchased wireless communications equipment found within the Installation and Commissioning section found within the
product user manual. The product user manual is available at www.schneider-electric.com
This environment is “enclosed”. It can be installed without any specific protection in areas with restricted access and low pollution
levels (not exceeding 2), for example; stations or control rooms which have neither machines nor any activity generating metallic
dust or other metallic particles. In other environments, it is recommended to follow rules as defined in the user manual. For the
definition of a restricted access location, refer to the ETSI EN 60950 standard.
Environment
Part A - Preface
WARNING
HAZARD OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
• The QR, QB and QP must be installed in a restricted access location.
• Ensure that the operating temperature (air surrounding equipment) never exceeds 70 °C (158 °F)
• Ensure that all radio equipment is installed with a lightning arrestor.
• Ensure that all connected equipment is grounded to the power source ground termination.
• Where an internal fuse is to be replaced, the replacement fuse must be of the specied
type and current rating. Refer to fuse replacement instructions within the Product User
Manual before servicing.
• Ensure that a matching load or antenna is attached to the RF port prior to applying power
to the device.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
• The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths and,
for certain critical control functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path
failure. Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and over travel stop.
• Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.
• System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the
implications of anticipated transmission delays or failures of the link
1
• Each implementation of equipment utilizing communication links must be individually and
thoroughly tested for proper operation before being placed into service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

For additional information about transmission delays or failures of the link, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition). Safety Guidelines for
the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control or its equivalent in your specific country, language, and/or location.
WARNING
HAZARD OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
