Altitude and Pollution Degree

The CI853K01 meets standard industrial installation requirements. Specifically, maximum altitude is 2000 meters according to IEC/EN 61131-2. Furthermore, pollution degree is Degree 2 according to the same standard. Also, the 3BSE018103R1 suits factory floor environments with moderate contamination. Therefore, this module does not require additional enclosures for typical installations.

Safety and Hazardous Location Certifications

The CI853K01 carries multiple safety certifications for global use. Specifically, electrical safety follows UL 61010-1 and UL 61010-2-201. Furthermore, hazardous location approval includes UL 60079-15 for Zone 2. Also, ratings include cULus Class 1 Zone 2 with AEx nA IIC T4. Notably, the 3BSE018103R1 also holds Ex nA IIC T4Gc X certification. Therefore, this module installs safely in hazardous locations.

Marine Certifications

The CI853K01 holds marine certifications for shipboard applications. Specifically, DNV-GL certification is confirmed for this module. Furthermore, ABS, BV, and LR certifications are pending approval. Also, the 3BSE018103R1 suits offshore platforms and marine vessels. Therefore, you can use this module in demanding maritime environments.

Environmental Compliance

The CI853K01 meets environmental regulations for responsible manufacturing. Specifically, RoHS compliance follows DIRECTIVE/2011/65/EU (EN 50581:2012). Furthermore, WEEE compliance follows DIRECTIVE/2012/19/EU for recycling. Also, the 3BSE018103R1 carries CE marking for European market access. Therefore, this module supports sustainable industrial automation practices.

Physical Dimensions and Weight

The CI853K01 has a compact design for high-density mounting. Specifically, width measures 59 mm (2.3 inches) for slim cabinet fit. Furthermore, height is 185 mm (7.3 inches) including the base. Also, depth measures 127.5 mm (5.0 inches) for standard clearance. Notably, the 3BSE018103R1 weighs 700 g (1.5 lbs) including base.

Installation Guidelines

First, mount the CI853K01 on the CEX bus of an AC 800M controller. Second, connect serial devices to the two RJ-45 ports for COMLI or MODBUS RTU. Third, connect Ethernet devices to the MODBUS TCP channel if needed. Fourth, configure the module as master or slave for each protocol. Fifth, verify hot swap compatibility before live insertion. Note, the 3BSE018103R1 works together with HI Controllers for high integrity systems.
