Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Compliance

The 'IO-CON-1 / 2 / 3 Modules' are CE Approved products. They are 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 'IO-CON Modules' with the same care as you would these types of devices. Always ensure that

you are not yourself carrying a static charge before handling the product. Wearing an earthed anti-

static wrist strap is recommended.

Equinox have 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.

ESD Points to remember

•

Work in a static-free environment.

•

Wear an earthed wrist strap when handling either the programmer and/or

any programmable device.

•

Ensure that the PC, programmer and Target system are connected to the

same EARTH (0V) potential.

•

Do NOT plug the ISP cable of the programmer into a Target System when

the Target power is ON.
