These products are now designated in Silver Series (reference www.ab.com/silver for more details). As of the Silver Date listed above, these products
will no longer be offered for general sale; however, we plan to provide repair services and technical support for as long as practical. When these products reach their Silver Series date, they will have been selling in the market for more than 25 years. We believe this is further evidence of our commitment to protecting your automation investment.
