Legal notices Chapter 1
Guarantee
Each device is subjected to a 24-hour "burn-in" before leaving imc. This procedure is capable of detecting almost
all cases of early failure. This does not, however, guarantee that a component will not fail after longer operation.
Therefore, all imc devices are granted liability for a period of two years. The condition for this guarantee is that
no alterations or modifications have been made to the device by the customer.
Unauthorized intervention in the device renders the guarantee null and void.
Notes on radio interference suppression
The imc MTP-NT telemetry system satisfy the EMC requirements for an use in industrial settings.
Any additional products connected to the product must satisfy the EMC requirements as specified by the
responsible authority (within Europe1) in Germany the BNetzA - "Bundesnetzagentur" (formerly BMPT-Vfg. No.
1046/84 or No. 243/91) or EC Guidelines 2014/30/EU. All products which satisfy these requirements must be
appropriately marked by the manufacturer or display the CE certification marking.
Products not satisfying these requirements may only be used with special approval of the regulating body in the
country where operated.
All lines connected to the MTP-NT telemetry system should not be longer than 30m and they should be shielded
and the shielding must be grounded.
Note
The EMC tests were carried out using shielded and grounded input and output cables with the exception of
the power cord. Observe this condition when designing your setup to ensure high interference immunity
and low jamming.
1 If you are located outside Europe, please refer the appropriate EMC standards used in the country of operation.
Cables and leads
In order to comply with the value limits applicable to Class B devices according to part 15 of the FCC regulations,
all signal leads connected to the MTP-NT telemetry system must be shielded.
Unless otherwise indicated, no connection leads may be long leads (<30m) as defined by the standard IEC
61326-1. LAN-cables (RJ 45) and CAN-Buscables (DSUB-9) are excepted from this rule.
Only cables with suitable properties for the task (e.g. isolation for protection against electric shock) may be
used.

Legal notices Chapter 1
FCC-Notice
This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
· Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
· Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
· Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
· Consult our imc Hotline or an experienced technician for help.
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this product that are not
expressly approved by imc may void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

1.3 Explanation of symbols
CE Conformity
see CE chapter 1.2
No household waste
Please do not dispose of the electrical/electronic device with household waste, but at the
appropriate collection points for electrical waste, see also chapter 1.2 .
Potential compensation
Connection for potential compensation
Grounding
Connection for grounding (general, without protective function)
Protective connection
Connection for the protective conductor or grounding with protective function
Attention! General danger zone!
This symbol indicates a dangerous situation;
Since there is insufficient space for indicating the rated quantity at the measuring inputs,
refer to this manual for the rated quantities of the measuring inputs before operation.
Attention! Injuries from hot surfaces!
Surfaces whose temperatures can exceed the limits under certain circumstances are
denoted by the symbol shown at left.
ESD-sensitive components (device/connector)
When handling unprotected circuit boards, take suitable measures to protect against ESD
(e.g. insert/remove ACC/CANFT-RESET).
Possibility of electric shock
The warning generally refers to high measurement voltages or signals at high potentials and
is located on devices suitable for such measurements. The device itself does not generate
dangerous voltages.

Explanation of symbols Chapter 1
RoHS of the PR China
The limits for hazardous substances in electrical/electronic equipment applicable in the PRC
are identical to those in the EU. The restrictions are complied with (see chapter 1.2 ). A
corresponding "China-RoHS" label is omitted for formal/economic reasons. Instead, the
number in the symbol indicates the number of years in which no hazardous substances are
released. (This is guaranteed by the absence of named substances).
Labeling integrated energy sources
UxxRxx are integrated in the symbolism. "U" stands for the installed UPS energy sources,
if0=notinstalled. "R" stands for the installed RTC energy sources, if0=not installed. You
can download the corresponding data sheets from the imc website:

Updated description and pin configuration, currently available in a separate document.
The content of this separate document "Initial operation for inductive powering" will be
included in the next Edition of this manual.
1.5 After unpacking
Check the delivered system immediately upon receiving it for completeness and for possible transport damage.
In case of damage visible from outside, proceed as follows:
· Do not accept the delivery or only accept it with reservations
· Note the extent of the damage on the packing documents or on the delivery service's packing list.
· Begin the claims process.
Please check the device for mechanical damage and/ or loose parts after unpacking it. The supplier must be
