Safety Considerations; Correct Handling Of The Module - EKE-Electronics CVB1621A Technical Manual

1.3 Safety considerations

The CVB module is a low voltage device. In a normal situation, it presents no safety
risk to the user. However, in case of a severe train malfunction or wiring errors, there
is a risk of an electric shock through the bus cables.
However, in case of a severe train malfunction or wiring errors, there is a
risk of an electric shock through the bus cables.
The CVB module and also the rack can contain sharp edges. Use
protective clothing (gloves etc.).
When you install / remove and handle a module, always hold it by the front
panel or the sides. Do not touch the components.
HOT! In a warm environment, some components may become very hot.
This does not harm the module but it could harm you. Touching these
components may cause burning of skin. Carefully hold the module by the
front panel or sides and DO NOT TOUCH ANY COMPONENTS.
Never disconnect the CVB module from a rack with active power, as this
can damage the CVB module or other modules in the system.

1.4 Correct handling of the module

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic circuits. The EKE-Trainnet
products are protected against ESD. However, you run the risk of delivering
electrostatic discharges to the module whenever you handle it or any of its
components. To avoid this risk, handle the CPS module only at a static-free
workstation. If this is not possible, you must ground yourself using a wrist strap and a
resistive connection cord.
Remember to handle the module according to these instructions even
when you are removing a defective module and sending it to maintenance.
