The symbols that may be found in this document are defined as follows.
Symbol
Description
Provides additional information to emphasize or supplement important points of
the main text.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, could result in
equipment damage, data loss, performance degradation, or unexpected results.
Indicates a hazard with a high level of risk, which if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.
Safety Instructions
These instructions are intended to ensure that the user can use the device correctly to avoid
danger or property loss.
Laws and Regulations
The device should be used in compliance with local laws, electrical safety regulations, and fire
prevention regulations.
Power Supply
When wiring or dismounting, make sure that the device power is cut off, and do not operate
under electrification.
Avoid contact with exposed circuit. When the device is powered on, avoid contact with
exposed junctions and parts.
Use the power adapter provided by the regular manufacturer.
Do not connect multiple devices to one power adapter, to avoid over-heating or fire hazards
caused by overload.
Make sure the plug is properly connected to the power socket.
Transportation
The device contains precision optical components and electronic components. During
transportation, storage and installation, incorrect operations like heavy pressure and violent
vibration should be avoided. Otherwise, the device may be damaged.
Avoid sudden collision, and pack the device with the accompanied carton and cushioning

X86 Open Platform·Quick Start Guide

material or similar package.
Using Environment
In order to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not let the device get wet or damp.
Do not drop objects onto the device and avoid vigorous vibration.
Keep the device away from magnetic interference.
Do not use the device in extremely heat, extremely cold, dusty environment, corrosive
environment or high humidity environment.
Do not aim the device lens at objects of strong light, such as the sun and incandescent lamp.
Otherwise, the lens may be damaged.
The device should be stored in dry environment without corrosive gas. Avoid placing the
device in direct sunlight and poorly ventilated locations, or near heat sources such as heater or
heating (ignoring this warning may lead to fire hazards).
Do not operate in explosive environment.
Keep the surrounding area well ventilated to avoid heat accumulation. Do not contact the
radiator directly to avoid scald.
Electrostatic Protection
Remove all conductive objects (such as jewelry, watch, etc.) on the device body before

human body may damage electrostatic sensitive components on circuit boards.
When touching electrostatic sensitive components or devices, proper grounding measures
must be taken.
Put electrostatic sensitive components into anti-static bags for protection.
It is suggested to place humidifier in dry environment to maintain suitable humidity and
reduce static electricity generation.
Maintenance
If the device is not working properly, contact the store or the nearest service center. Do not
disassemble or modify the device in any way. (The company does not bear any liability for any
problem arising from unauthorized modification or maintenance).
Properly preserve all the original packaging materials of the device so that when problems
arise, the device can be packed with packaging materials and sent to the agent or returned to
the manufacturer for processing. The company does not bear any liability for accidental
damage during transportation caused by non-original packaging.
This device is a precision electronic device, no components can be maintained by user, do not
disassemble the device arbitrarily.

The device has 3 opto inputs, and 3 opto outputs.
I/O interface input wiring method is shown in Figure 1-5. Input voltage ranges from 5
VDC to 30 VDC.
If the input device is NPN signal (suspended or power negative), IN_COM should be
connected with input device power positive, and signal line with corresponding input
interface.
If the input device is PNP signal (suspended or power positive), IN_COM should be
connected with input device power negative, and signal line with corresponding input
interface.
Figure 1-5 I/O Input Wiring
I/O interface output is open-circuit output, as shown in Figure 1-6. Input voltage ranges
from 5 VDC to 30 VDC. Current cannot exceed 200 mA.
If the output device is NPN signal (suspended or power negative), OUT_COM should be
connected with input device power positive, and signal line with corresponding input
interface.
If the output device is PNP signal (suspended or power positive), the OUT_COM should be
connected with input device power negative, and signal line with corresponding input
interface.
