ETK-V1.1 - User’s Guide 9
ETAS Basic Safety Notices
• Use the product only according to the specifications in the corresponding
User's Guide. With any deviating operation, the product safety is no lon-
ger ensured.
• Observe the regulations applicable at the operating location concerning
electrical safety as well as the laws and regulations concerning work
safety!
• Do not apply any voltages to the connections of the product that do not
correspond to the specifications of the respective connection.
• Connect only current circuits with safety extra-low voltage in accordance
with EN 61140 (degree of protection III) to the connections of the prod-
uct.
• The power supply for the product must be safely disconnected from the
supply voltage. For example, use a car battery or a suitable lab power sup-
ply.
• Use only lab power supplies with double protection to the supply system.
• Ensure that the connections of the power supply are easily accessible.
• The module does not have an operating voltage switch.
– Switch on the product by connecting the power supply cable with the
power supply or by switching on the power supply.
– Switch off the product by disconnecting it from the power supply or by
switching off the power supply.
Potential Equalization
Requirements for the technical State of the Product
The product is designed in accordance with state-of-the-art technology and rec-
ognized safety rules. The product may be operated only in a technically flawless
condition and according to the intended purpose and with regard to safety and
DANGER!
Connect the power cord only with a vehicle battery or with a
lab power supply! A connection to power outlets is prohibited.

- Route the power cord in such a way that it is protected against abra-
sion, damages, deformation and kinking. Do not place any objects on
the power cord.

- Never apply force to insert a plug into a socket. Ensure that there is
no contamination in and on the connection, that the plug fits the
socket, and that you correctly aligned the plugs with the connection.

- Do not use the product in a wet or damp environment. 
- Do not use the product in potentially explosive atmospheres. 
- Keep the surfaces of the product clean and dry.
CAUTION!
Danger from inadvertent current flow! 
Depending on the design, the shield of the Ethernet cables can be
connected with the housing of the module. Install the products only
on components with the same electrical potential or isolate the prod-
ucts from the components.

dangers as stated in the respective product documentation. If the product is not
used according to its intended purpose, the protection of the product may be
impaired.
Maintenance and Cleaning
The product is maintenance-free. Use a lightly moistened, soft, lint-free cloth for
cleaning the product. Ensure that no moisture can enter. Never spray cleaning
agents directly onto the product. Do not user any sprays, solvents or abrasive
cleaners which could damage the product.
Transport and Installation
Cabling
Use exclusively ETAS cables at the connections of the product! Adhere to the
maximum permissible cable lengths! Observe the assignment of the cables to the
connectors! Detailed information about cabling is located in the ETK User's
Guides.
CAUTION!
The ETK can be damaged or destroyed! 
Some components of the ETK board may be damaged or destroyed
by electrostatic discharges. Please keep the ETK in its storage package
until it is installed.

The board should only be taken from its package, configured, and
installed at a work place that is protected against static discharge.
CAUTION!
During installation and removal, ECU and ETK must be in a de-eener-
gized state!
CAUTION!
Risk of short circuiting the internal signals of the ETK! 
When you mount the ETK to the ECU, you must ensure that the
screws and washers used will not penetrate the ETK printed circuit
board.
CAUTION!
Differences in case ground potentials can cause high currents
to flow through the shields of the cables that connect various
system modules.

Ensure that the module mounting surfaces are at the same electrical
potential or insulate the modules from their mounting surfaces.
