Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of pur-
chase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by
persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or which have been
subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Advantech assumes no
liability under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of
our customers never need to use our repair service. If an Advantech product is defec-
tive, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For out-
of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials,
service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU
speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandize
authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt)
in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date
is not eligible for warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid
to your dealer.

1.1 Introduction
The MIC-1810 is a standalone automation controller with integrated data acquisition
module and signal conditioning to provide digital I/O, analog I/O, and counter func-
tions. This controller also supports serial communication ports and several other net-
working interfaces. You can seamlessly integrate your applications into the MIC-1810
series and speed up your system development with these application-ready control-
lers. With multiple OS and driver support, such as Windows 10/7 and embedded
Linux, users can integrate applications easily in an application-ready platform that
can provide versatile functions to fulfill diverse requirements.
1.2 Safety Precautions
The following sections tell how to make each connection. In most cases, you will sim-
ply need to connect a standard cable.
Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are
working on it. Do not connect while the power is on. A sudden rush of
power can damage sensitive electronic components. Only experienced
electronics personnel should open the chassis.
Warning! Toujours à la terre pour éliminer toute charge d'électricité statique avant
toucher MIC-1810. Appareils électroniques modernes sont très sensi-
bles à charges d'électricité statique. Utilisez un bracelet antistatique à
tout moment. Placez tous composants électroniques sur une surface
antistatique ou dans un statique-sac blindé.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static electric charge before
touching MIC-1810. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to
static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all
electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-
shielded bag.
Caution! Toujours débrancher le cordon d'alimentation de votre boîtier lorsque
vous êtes travailler. Ne branchez pas lorsque l'appareil est allumé. Un
afflux soudain de puissance peut endommager les composants électro-
niques sensibles. Seulement connu personnel de l'électronique
devraient ouvrir le châssis.
Caution! Equipment is intended for installation in Restricted Access Location.
Caution! Les matériels sont destinés à être installés dans des EMPLACEMENTS
À ACCÈS RESTREINT.
