Warning:
Intended use
The STEVAL-IHM029V1 is designed for demonstration purposes only, and must not be
used in domestic or industrial installations. The technical data, as well as the information
concerning the power supply and working conditions, must be taken from the
documentation included in the kit and strictly observed.
Installation
The installation of the STEVAL-IHM029V1 is described in this document.
The components must be protected against excessive strain. In particular, no components
should be bent, or isolating distances altered during the transportation, handling or use.
No contact must be made with electronic components and contacts.
The STEVAL-IHM029V1 contains electrostatically sensitive components, which may be
damaged if used improperly. To avoid risk of injury, ensure that electrical components are
not mechanically damaged.
Electrical connection
Applicable accident prevention rules must be followed when working from the mains power
supply. The electrical installation must be completed in accordance with the appropriate
requirements (e.g. cross-sectional areas of conductors, fusing and PE connections).
Board operation
A system architecture which supplies power to the demonstration board must be equipped
with additional control and protective devices, in accordance with the applicable safety
requirements (e.g. compliance of equipment and accident prevention rules).
Warning:
4/23
The high voltage levels used to operate the STEVAL-
IHM029V1 could present a serious electrical shock hazard.
This demonstration board must be used in a suitable
laboratory environment only, by qualified personnel who are
familiar with the installation, use, and maintenance of power
electrical systems.
Do not touch the board after disconnection from the mains,
as several parts and power terminals could contain an
electrical charge due to energized capacitors, which must be
allowed to discharge completely.
