For Your Safety
Your new PEP product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary
to ensure the renown 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 treat-
ment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interests of your own safety and of
the correct operation of your new
PEP product, you are requested to conform with the follow-
ing guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
• 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 safe work stations are not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electri-cally
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 piggy-
backs, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or
memory back-up, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, including
anti-static plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or
tracks on the board.
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently
skilled personnel only.
Caution, Electric Shock!
However, serious electrical shock hazards exist during all
installation, repair and maintenance operations with this prod-
uct. Therefore, always unplug the power cable to avoid expo-
sure to hazardous voltage.
Before installing your new PEP product into a system always
ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also
to the installation of piggybacks.
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.

Two Year Warranty
PEP Modular Computers grants the original purchaser of PEP products a TWO YEAR LIMITED
HARDWARE
WARRANTY as described in the following. However, no other warranties that may be
granted or implied by anyone on behalf of

term storage of the product. It does not cover products which have been modified, altered or
repaired by any other party than
PEP Modular Computers or their authorized agents. Further-
more, any product which has been, or is suspected of being damaged as a result of negli-
gence, improper use, incorrect handling, servicing or maintenance, or which has been
damaged as a result of excessive current/voltage or temperature, or which has had its serial
number(s), any other markings or parts thereof altered, defaced or removed will also be
excluded from this warranty.
If the customer’s eligibility for warranty has not been voided, in the event of any claim, he may
return the product at the earliest possible convenience to the original place of purchase,
together with a copy of the original document of purchase, a full description of the application
the product is used on and a description of the defect. Pack the product in such a way as to
ensure safe transportation (see our safety instructions).
PEP provides for repair or replacement of any part, assembly or sub-assembly at their own
discretion, or to refund the original cost of purchase, if appropriate. In the event of repair,
refunding or replacement of any part, the ownership of the removed or replaced parts reverts
to
PEP Modular Computers , and the remaining part of the original guarantee, or any new
guarantee to cover the repaired or replaced items, will be transferred to cover the new or
repaired items. Any extensions to the original guarantee are considered gestures of goodwill,
and will be defined in the “Repair Report” issued by
PEP with the repaired or replaced item.
PEP Modular Computers will not accept liability for any further claims resulting directly or indi-
rectly from any warranty claim, other than the above specified repair, replacement or refund-
ing. In particular, all claims for damage to any system or process in which the product was
