2. Safety instructions

Mechanical hazards
Cut wires can have sharp ends and can cause serious injuries. Watch
out for sharp edges when you pick up the PCB.
Visibly damaged parts can cause unpredictable danger. Do not use
damaged parts: recycle and replace them with new ones.
Electrical hazards

Touching powered, live components,

touching conducting components which are live due to malfunction,

short circuits and connecting the circuit to another voltage than
specified,

impermissibly high humidity and condensation build up
can cause serious injury due to electrical shock. Take the following
precautions to prevent this danger:

Never perform wiring on a powered module.

Mounting should only be done in closed, clean, dry rooms. Beware of
humidity.

Only use low power for this module as described in this manual and
only use certified transformers.

Connect transformers and soldering irons only in approved mains
sockets installed by an authorised electrician.

Observe cable diameter requirements.

After condensation build up, allow a minimum of 2 hours for
dispersion.

Use only original spare parts if you have to repair the kit or the
ready-built module.
Fire risk
Touching flammable material with a hot soldering iron can cause fire,
which can result in injury or death through burns or suffocation.
Connect your soldering iron or soldering station only when actually
needed. Always keep the soldering iron away from inflammable
materials. Use a suitable soldering iron stand. Never leave a hot
soldering iron or station unattended.
Thermal danger
A hot soldering iron or liquid solder accidentally touching your skin can
cause skin burns. As a precaution:

use a heat-resistant mat during soldering,

always put the hot soldering iron in the soldering iron stand,

point the soldering iron tip carefully when soldering, and

remove liquid solder with a thick wet rag or wet sponge from the
soldering tip.
Dangerous environments
A working area that is too small or cramped is unsuitable and can cause
accidents, fires and injury. Prevent this by working in a clean, dry room
with enough freedom of movement.
Other dangers
Children can cause any of the accidents mentioned above because they
are inattentive and not responsible enough. Children under the age of
14 should not be allowed to mount the modules.
Caution:
!
Little children can swallow small components with sharp edges, with
fatal results! Do not allow components to reach small children.
In schools, training centres, clubs and workshops, mounting and
operation must be supervised by qualified personnel.
In industrial institutions, health and safety regulations applying to
electronic work must be adhered to.
