affect engine performance.
General Requirements
ESD
ESD protection has been taken into account when designing the EM50S. However, due to limited board space, additional
ESD protection, such as TVS protection, is not provided on the engine's I/O interface. It is advised to take corresponding
protection measures when integrating the engine.
The engine is shipped in ESD safe packaging. Always exercise care when handling the engine outside its package. Be
sure grounding wrist straps and properly grounded work areas are used.
Avoid Hot-plugging
The EM50S does not support hot-plugging. Be sure the power is cut off before connecting a cable to or disconnecting a
cable from the engine. Hot-plugging could damage the engine.
Dust and Dirt
The EM50S must be sufficiently enclosed to prevent dust particles from gathering on the lens and circuit board. Dust and
other external contaminants will eventually degrade the engine's performance.
