Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Compliance
The 'ISPnano Programming Module' is a CE Approved Product. It is designed for use in an ESD
controlled environment i.e. development or production. This means, therefore, that the user must
ensure that there is no possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Since the devices
and equipment to which this product is likely to be connected may well themselves be susceptible to
ESD, this should not pose any difficulty.
For example, if you are handling microcontrollers and EEPROMS etc. then you will already be used to
appropriate precautions, such as the use of anti-static mats, wrist straps and so on. You should treat
your 'ISPnano Programming Module' with the same care as you would these types of devices.
Always ensure that you are not carrying a static charge yourself before handling the product. Wearing
an earthed anti-static wrist strap is recommended.
Equinox has taken great care in designing this product to be compliant with the European EMC
directive. When using the equipment be sure to follow the instructions provided. Although RF
emissions are within prescribed limits, care should be taken if you are using the product near to
sensitive apparatus. If you experience any difficulty please refer to Equinox Technical Support.
Warning!
Any damage caused to the programmer by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) through inadequate
earthing is not covered under the warranty of the product.
