2.2. Conditions of use

General:
Read the "General and Safety Information" section carefully and keep the manual for future reference.
•
Read carefully the "General Conditions of Sale and Use of Libelium". This document can be found at:
•
http://www.libelium.com/development/waspmote/technical_service. As specified in the Warranty docu-
ment, the client has 7 days from the day the order is received to detect any failure and report that to Libe-
lium. Any other failure reported after these 7 days may not be considered under warranty.
Use Waspmote in accordance with the electrical specifications and in the environments described in the
•
"Electrical Data" section of this manual.
Waspmote and its components and modules are supplied as electronic boards to be integrated within a fi-
•
nal product. This product must have an enclosure to protect it from dust, humidity and other environmental
interactions. If the product is to be used outside, the enclosure must have an IP-65 rating, at the minimum.
For a ready-to-install product, we advise our Plug & Sense! line.
Do not place Waspmote in contact with metallic surfaces; they could cause short-circuits which will perma-
•
nently damage it.
Specific:
Buttons and switches: Handle with care, do not force activation or use tools (pliers, screwdrivers, etc) to
•
handle it.
Battery: Only use the original lithium battery provided with Waspmote. Connect with extreme care.
•
Mini-USB connection: Only use mini-USB, mod. B, compatible cables.
•
Solar panel connection: Only use the solar panels specified in the "Power supplies" section and always res-
•
pect polarity.
Lithium battery connection: Only use the connector specified in the "Battery" section and always respect
•
polarity.
Micro SD card connection: There are many SD card models; any of them has defective blocks, which are
•
ignored when using the Waspmote's SD library. However, when using OTA, those SD blocks cannot be avoi-
ded, so that the execution could crash. Libelium implements a special process to ensure the SD cards we
provide will work fine with OTA. The only SD cards that Libelium can assure that work correctly with Wasp-
mote are the SD cards we distribute officially.
Micro SD card: Make sure Waspmote is switched off before inserting or removing the SD card. Otherwise,
•
the SD card could be damaged.
Micro SD card: Waspmote must not be switched off or reseted while there are ongoing read or write opera-
•
tions in the SD card. Otherwise, the SD card could be damaged and data could be lost.
XBee module connection: Waspmote allows the connection of any module from the XBee family, respect
•
polarity when connecting (see print).
Other modules connection: Only use the original modules created by Libelium.
•
Antenna connections: Each of the antennas that can be connected to Waspmote (or to its boards) must be
•
connected using the correct type of antenna and connector in each case, or using the correct adapters.
USB voltage adapters: To power and charge the Waspmote battery, use only the original accessories distri-
•
buted by Libelium.
