Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary to ensure its
compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long fault-free life. However, the life
expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by improper treatment during unpacking and installation.
Therefore, in the interest of your own safety and of the correct operation of your new Kontron product, you are
requested to conform with the following guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
As a precaution and in case of danger, the power connector must be easily accessible. The power connector is the
product’s main disconnect device.
Warning
All operations on this product must be carried out by sufficiently skilled personnel only.

Additional safety instructions for DC power supply circuits

To guarantee safe operation of products with DC power supply voltages larger than 60 volts DC or a power
consumption larger than 120 VA, observe that:

The Product is set up, installed and operated in a room or enclosure marked with “RESTRICTED ACCESS”, if
there are no safety messages such as safety signs and labels on the product itself.

No cables or parts without insulation in electrical circuits with dangerous voltage or power should be
touched directly or indirectly.

A reliable protective earth connection is provided.

A suitable, easily accessible disconnecting device is used in the application (e.g. overcurrent protective
device), if the product itself is not disconnectable.

A disconnect device, if provided in or as part of the equipment, shall disconnect both poles simultaneously.

Interconnecting power circuits of different devices cause no electrical hazards.

A sufficient dimensioning of the power cable wires must be selected – according to the maximum electrical
specifications on the product label – as stipulated by the applied safety standards.

applied safety standards and therefore may not be connected to such devices!
1.1. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices or micro-
circuitry.
Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. Always take the following
precautions:
1. Transport boards in ESD-safe containers such as boxes or bags.
2. Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at the ESD-safe workplace.
3. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or assembly.
4. Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on antistatic mats.
1.2. Grounding Methods
By observing the guidelines below, electrostatic damage to the product can be avoided:
1. Cover workstations with approved antistatic material. Always wear a wrist strap connected to workplace. Always
use properly grounded tools and equipment.
2. Use antistatic mats, heel straps, or air ionizers for more protection.
3. Always handle electrostatically sensitive components by their edge or by their casing.
4. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
5. Switch off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or connecting test equipment.
6. Keep work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and Styrofoam.
7. Use only field service tools that are conductive, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuum cleaners.
8. Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.
