Precautions of Use
- Electrostatic Sensitive Device. Boards may be damaged by electrostatic discharges. Follow the procedure hereby described and apply any general procedure aimed at reducing the risk associated to electrostatic discharge. Damage caused by improper handling is not covered by the manufacturer warranty.
- Electromagnetic Compatibility. Euresys boards are compliant with electromagnetic compatibility regulatory requirements. To ensure this compliance, it is mandatory to secure the board bracket with the relevant screw according to the procedure hereby described.
- Risk of Electrical Shock. Do not operate the computer with any enclosure cover removed. During the hardware installation, ensure the AC power cord is unplugged before touching any internal part of the computer.
- Heating Device. In operation, it is normal that a board dissipates some heat. To ensure the adequate cooling effect of the fan equipping your computer, it is mandatory to correctly fit all enclosure covers, including blank brackets.
- Poor Grounding Protection. The computer and the camera can be located in distant areas with distinct ground connections. Poor ground interconnection, ground loop or ground fault may induce unwanted voltage between equipments, causing excessive current in the interconnecting cables. This faulty situation can damage the frame grabber or the camera electrical interface. The user must follow proper equipment grounding practices at all ends of the interconnecting cables. In addition, it is recommended to use cable assemblies with overall shield solidly connected to the conductive shell of all connectors. Besides the beneficial effect of cable shielding on electromagnetic compatibility, the shield connection can increase the protection level against grounding problems in temporarily absorbing unwanted fault current.
- Hot Plugging Forbidden. Uncontrolled plugging and unplugging of equipment may damage a board. Always switch-off the computer and any relevant system device when connecting or disconnecting a cable at the frame grabber or auxiliary board bracket. Failure to do so may damage the card and will void the warranty.
