  • Page 22 Starting Up the Computing Unit The power cable should comply with the safety guidelines of the country concerned. Lay the cables so that no one can step on or trip over them. When connecting the device, carefully study the pertinent information given in Chapter 2. Never connect or disconnect power cables or data transmission lines during a thunderstorm.
  • Page 23 Starting Up the Computing Unit 230 V supply voltages outside the U.S.A. and Canada Use flexible cable featuring the following design properties: conductor cross section at least 18 to AWG and grounding–type plug 15 A / 250 V. Make sure that the cable set complies with the safety standards of the country where the devices will be installed and that they bear the relevant markings.

  • Page 24: Transportation

    Starting Up the Computing Unit Transportation Shipping Despite the rugged design of the computing unit, its built-in components are sensitive to severe vibrations and shock. You must therefore protect your computing unit from severe mechanical stress when it is in transit. The computing unit should therefore only be transported in its original package.

    ESD Guidelines What does ESD mean? Virtually all present-day modules incorporate highly integrated MOS devices or components. For technological reasons, these electronic components are very sensitive to overvoltages and consequently therefore to electrostatic discharge: These devices are referred to in German as Elektrostatisch Gefährdeten Bauelemente/ Baugruppen: “EGB”...
  • Page 137 ESD Guidelines Handling ESD assemblies A general rule is that assemblies should be touched only when this cannot be avoided owing to the work that has to performed on them. Under no circumstances should you handle printed-circuit boards by touching device pins or circuitry. You should touch devices only if S you are grounded by permanently wearing an ESD wrist strap or S you are wearing ESD shoes or ESD shoe-grounding protection straps in...
