For Your Safety
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.
Electric Shock!
Before installing a non hot-swappable Kontron product into a system always ensure that
your mains power is switched off. This also applies to the installation of piggybacks. Serious
electrical shock hazards can exist during all installation, repair, and maintenance operations
on this product. Therefore, always unplug the power cable and any other cables which
provide external voltages before performing any work on this product.
Earth ground connection to vehicle’s chassis or a central grounding point shall remain
connected. The earth ground cable shall be the last cable to be disconnected or the first
cable to be connected when performing installation or removal procedures on this product.
Special Handling and Unpacking Instruction
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static electricity. Therefore, care
must be taken during all handling operations and inspections of this product, in order to
ensure product integrity at all times.
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational purposes unless it is
otherwise protected.
Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where a safe work station is not
guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically discharged before touching the product with his/her hands
or tools. This is most easily done by touching a metal part of your system housing.
It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing piggybacks, ROM devices,
jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory backup, ensure that the product is not placed
on conductive surfaces, including anti-static plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the
batteries or conductive circuits on the product.

1/ General Safety Instructions for IT Equipment
Please read this chapter carefully and take careful note of the instructions, that have been
compiled for your safety and to ensure to apply in accordance with intended regulations. If
the following general safety instructions are not observed, it could lead to injuries to the
operator and/or damage of the product; in cases of non-observance of the instructions
Kontron is exempt from accident liability, this also applies during the warranty period.
The product has been built and tested according to the basic safety requirements for low voltage (LVD) applications
and has left the manufacturer in safety-related, flawless condition. To maintain this condition and also to ensure safe
operation, the operator must not only observe the correct operating conditions for the product but also the following
general safety instructions:
The product must be used as specified in the product documentation, in which the instructions for safety for the
product and for the operator are described. These contain guidelines for setting up, installation and assembly,
maintenance, transport, and storage.
The on-site electrical installation must meet the requirements of the country's specific local regulations.
If a power cable comes with the product, only this cable should be used. Do not use an extension cable to connect
the product.
To guarantee that sufficient air circulation is available to cool the product, ensure that if the product has
ventilation openings the openings are not covered or blocked. If an air filter is provided, this should be cleaned
regularly. Additionally, make sure the system is well ventilated by observing if heat-dissipating elements are
covered/obstructed by objects as this can cause a build-up of heat and stop heat from being dispersed into the
ambient environment.
Do not place the system close to heat sources or damp places.
Only products or parts which fulfill the requirements of SELV circuits (Safety Extra Low Voltage) as stipulated by
IEC 60950-1 may be connected to the available interfaces.
Before opening the product, make sure that the product is disconnected from the mains. Complete disconnection
is only possible if the power cable is disconnected and removed. Ensure that there is free and easy access to
enable disconnection.
If the product is opened for the insertion or removal of expansion devices (depending on the configuration of the
system), this may only be carried out by qualified persons.
If extensions are made to the product, the following must be observed:
All effective legal regulations and all technical data for the expansion devices are adhered to.
The power consumption of any expansion devices does not exceed the specified limitations.
The current consumption of the system does not exceed the value stated on the product label.
Only original accessories that have been approved by Kontron can be used.
Please note: safe operation is no longer possible when any of the following applies:
Damage is visible.
The device no longer functions.
In these cases, the device must be switched off and it must be ensured that the device can no longer be operated.
KBox A-330-RPI - Draft
www.kontron.com // 13
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 240 VA, please 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 on product 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 earthing connection is provided
A suitable, easily accessible disconnecting product is used in the application (e.g. overcurrent protective
product), if the product itself is not disconnectable
A disconnect product, if provided in or as part of the equipment, shall disconnect both poles simultaneously
Interconnecting power circuits of different products 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 EN60950-1 or VDE0100 or EN60204 or UL508 regulations.
The product does not generally fulfill the requirements for "centralized DC power systems“ (UL 60950-1, Annex
NAB; D2) and therefore may not be connected to such products!

2/ Introduction
This user guide describes the KBox A-330-RPI. New users are recommended to study the installation instructions
within this user guide before switching on the power.
Kontron’s KBox A-330-RPI is developed specifically for control cabinet applications with flexible DIN rail mounting
positions for use when space is limited. The fanless design ensures a significantly prolonged lifespan and high
system availability.
The KBox A-330-RPI is an industrial grade box PC based on the Raspberry Pi Computer Module CM3+ with Quad Core
processor designed for use in demanding applications. Due to the varied amount of onboard interfaces such as dual
fast Ethernet, USB 2.0, micro HDMI, digital IO and serial ports, the KBox A-330-RPI enables connectivity for nearly all
applications and supports besides the on board eMMC memory , expandability via SD cards.
General features are:
Broadcom® BCM2837B0 Arm®-A53 quad core processor
1 GB GB RAM with DDR2L soldered memory
4GB memory storage via soldered eMMC
External SD drive slot
External Interfaces 1x micro HDMI, 2x Fast Ethernet, 2x USB 2.0, 1x RS232, 1x RS485 and 1x CAN
Fanless passive cooling
The KBox A-330-RPI is intended for 24/7 continuous operation and longtime industrial applications. All components
are selected to ensure a long lifetime.
Figure 1: KBox A-330-RPI
The KBox A-330-RPI is factory configured to meet customer requirements. Kontron does not
recommend opening the system as this may cause damage to internal components.
