Note: The product serial number label helps our product support team identify your device and its factory configuration in the event that your IONODES product or its components require service. The label is attached to the underside of the PCBA.
Page 7: Hardware Integration
3 Hardware Integration The ATOMAS-MINI-DUAL has been designed to allow for flexible hardware integration to existing or new product designs. The ATOMAS-MINI-DUAL proposes four (4) mounting holes for securing to your enclosure. In addition, a slight clearance around the board’s edge can also be used for extrusion-type enclosures.
