Preface

For your safety

Your new PEP product has been developed and carefully tested in order to provide all the fea-
tures necessary to ensure full compliance with all electrical safety requirements. It has also
been designed for a long fault-free life. However, the life expectancy of your product will be
drastically reduced by improper treatment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the
interests of your own safety and of the correct operation of your new PEP product, you are
requested to conform with the following guidelines.

High Voltage Safety Instructions

Warning!
!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently
skilled personnel.
Caution!
The power supply must always be disconnected before installa-
tion, repair and maintenance operations are carried out on this
product. Failure to comply with this basic precaution will subject
the operator to serious electrical shock hazards. Always unplug
the power cable before such operations.
Before installing your new PEP product into a system always
ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also to
the installation of piggybacks.

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 oper-
ations and inspections of this product, in order to ensure product
integrity at all times.
$
Do not handle this product while it is outside 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 safe work stations are not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electri-
cally 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
piggybacks, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC
or memory backup, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, includ-
ing anti-static plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batter-
ies or tracks on the board.
