Precautions

When working with the VIPA 221-1FF50 or any industrial automation module, general precautions should be observed:

• Electrical Safety: Due to the high voltage input range (180-265V AC/DC), extreme caution must be exercised during installation and maintenance to prevent electric shock. Always de-energize the system before making connections or adjustments.

• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): VIPA modules use highly integrated components sensitive to ESD. Always discharge yourself and use proper ESD protection (e.g., anti-static wrist strap, grounded tools) when handling the module to prevent damage.

• Proper Wiring: Ensure correct wiring according to the product's datasheet and applicable electrical codes. Incorrect wiring can lead to module damage, system malfunction, or safety hazards.
