For Your Safety
Your new PEP product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary to
ensure its compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long fault-
free life. However, the life expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by improper
treatment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interest of your own safety and
of the correct operation of your new PEP product, you are requested to conform with the fol-
lowing guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently skilled
personnel only.
Caution, Electric Shock!
Before installing your new PEP product into a system always ensure
that your mains power is switched off. This applies also to the instal-
lation of piggybacks.
Serious electrical shock hazards can exist during all installation,
repair and maintenance operations with this product. Therefore,
always unplug the power cable and any other cables which provide
external voltages before performing work.
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static electricity.
Therefore, care must be taken during all handling operations and inspections
of this product, in order to ensure product integrity at all times.
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational
purposes unless it is otherwise protected.
Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where
a safe work station is not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically discharged
before touching the product with his/her hands or tools. This is most easily done by touching a
metal part of your system housing.
It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing piggy-
backs, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory
back-up, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-static plas-
tics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or conductive circuits
on the board.
