Safety Guidelines
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
Danger
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
Warning
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
Caution
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
Caution
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
Notice
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The device/system may only be set up and used in conjunction with this documentation. Commissioning and
operation of a device/system may only be performed by qualified personnel. Within the context of the safety notes
in this documentation qualified persons are defined as persons who are authorized to commission, ground and
label devices, systems and circuits in accordance with established safety practices and standards.

used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Warning
Risk of explosion and release of harmful substances!
Therefore, do not throw Lithium batteries into an open fire, do not solder or open the cell
body, do not short-circuit or reverse polarity, do not heat up above 100° C, dispose of in
accordance with regulations and protect against direct exposure to sunlight, moisture and
condensation.
ESD guidelines
Modules containing electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDs) can be identified by the following
label:
Strictly follow the guidelines mentioned below when handling modules which are sensitive to
ESD:
• Always discharge your body´s static electricity before handling modules which are
sensitive to ESD (for example, by touching a grounded object).
• All devices and tools must be free of static charge.
• Always pull the mains connector and disconnect the battery before you install or remove
modules which are sensitive to ESD.
• Handle modules fitted with ESDs by their edges only.
• Do not touch any wiring posts or conductors on modules containing ESDs.

Application Planning
4.1 4.1 Transport
Despite the device's rugged design, its internal components are sensitive to severe
vibrations or shock. You must therefore protect the PC from severe mechanical stress when
transporting it.
You should always use the original packaging for shipping and transporting the device.
Caution
Risk of damage to the device!
When transporting the PC in cold weather, it may be submitted to extreme variations in
temperature. In this situation, ensure that no moisture (condensation) develops on or inside
the device.
If condensation develops, wait at least 12 hours before switching on the device.

4.3 4.3 Ambient and environmental conditions
When you plan your project, you should make allowances for:
• Note the climatic and mechanical environmental conditions specified in the specifications
provided by your operating manual.
• Avoid extreme ambient conditions as far as possible. Protect your PC from dust,
moisture, and heat.
• Keep the PC out of direct sunlight.
• Mount the PC as safely as possible to prevent danger (for example, of falling over).
• The device satisfies protection class IP 41 on the front panel. In areas where splashing is
likely, ensure that the device's installation opening is splash-proofed.
• The area around the ventilation slots must be at least 50 mm, in order that the PC is
sufficiently ventilated.
• Do not cover the device's vent slots.
• The device fulfils the requirements for a fire enclosure according to EN 60950-1. It can be
installed without additional fire protection.
Warning
If these requirements are not adhered to when installing the system, the approvals
according to UL 60950-1, EN 60950-1 are voided and there will is a danger of
overheating and a hazard for personnel!

To be noted before you connect the device
Note
The autorange-power-supply is designed for 120/230/240 V AC power networks. The setting
of the voltage range takes place automatically.
Warning
Do not connect or disconnect power and data cables during thunderstorms.
Warning
The device is designed for operation on grounded power supply networks (TN systems to
VDE 0100, part 300, or IEC 60364-3).
