1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1.1 General

Be sure to follow the tips given in this User's Guide to make best use of the MBox-R/V. Failure to do so might lead to discomfort or injury, or cause the MBox-R/V to fail.

1.2 Symbols and Typographic Conventions

Table 1: Terms and Conventions

Symbol Meaning

This symbol represents the handling of electrostatic-sensitive modules and / or components. These components are often damaged / destroyed by the transmission of a voltage higher than about 50 V. A human body usually only experiences electrostatic discharges above approximately 3,000 V.

This symbol indicates the possible use of voltages higher than 24 V. Please note the relevant statutory regulations in this regard. Non-compliance with these regulations can lead to serious damage to your health and also cause

damage / destruction of the component.

This symbol indicates a possible source of danger. Acting against the procedure described can lead to possible damage to your health and / or cause damage / destruction of the material used.

This symbol represents important details or aspects for working with TQ-products.

1.3 Before You Start

This User's Guide must be carefully read and completely understood before you start working with the MBox-R/V. This User's Guide provides information, which is essential for proper operation of the MBox-R/V. General safety instructions must be adhered to and only trained and authorized personnel is permitted to work with the MBox-R/V.

1.4 Duty Of Care

It must be ensured that the MBox-R/V is only used in environments, which meet the specification of the MBox-R/V. The User's Guide has to be completely read and understood and the personnel is authorized and trained regarding standards, regulations and instructions. It also has to be ensured, that the MBox-R/V is mounted, operated and maintained according to the instruction of this User's Guide. All applicable national and international regulations and standards have to be obeyed.

1.5 Limited Warranty

Parts which wear out naturally are excluded from the warranty beyond that provided by law. This applies to e.g., coin cell batteries.

1.6 Liability and Warranty Obligation

TQ-Systems GmbH shall be exempted from the statutory accident liability obligation in case the user does not observe the information provided in this User's Guide or the warnings on the device. In the event of damage caused by failure to observe the information provided in this User's Guide or the warnings on the device, TQ-Systems GmbH shall not be required to honour the warranty even during the warranty period and shall be exempted from the statutory accident liability obligation.

1.7 Safety Guidelines

Use the following safety guidelines to protect your MBox-R/V from potential damage and ensure your personal safety. If the following safety guidelines are not observed, it could lead to injuries to the operator and/or damage of the MBox-R/V. In cases of non-observance of the safety guidelines TQ-Systems GmbH is exempt from accident liability, even if the MBox-R/V is

still under warranty. The MBox-R/V must be used as specified in this User's Guide, which describes the safety guidelines for the MBox-R/V as well as for the operator. The place where the MBox-R/V is installed has to meet the requirements of the country's standards and regulations. If power cables are delivered with the MBox-R/V only these may be used. Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation to cool the MBox-R/V. Do not cover the MBox-R/V or mount it close to heat sources or damp places.

To completely disconnect the MBox-R/V from mains, the power cord has to be disconnected. Make sure the power cord is always easy accessible. Only open the MBox-R/V after all cables are disconnected from the MBox-R/V to insert or remove add-on cards.

This may only be done by qualified personnel. If add-on cards are installed in the MBox-R/V, all effective legal regulations and all technical data has to be adhered to. It has to be ensured, that the power consumption of add-on cards does not exceed the limitations and the current consumption specified on the label of the MBox-R/V. Very important! A safe operation is not possible when the MBox-R/V is visibly damaged or is not functioning at all. In this case the MBox-R/V must be switched off and it must be ensured that the MBox-R/V cannot be put back into operation. It is very important to ensure that the wires of power cords are sufficiently dimensioned, according to the maximum electrical specifications of the MBox-R/V. Standards and regulations like EN62368-1, VDE0100, EN60204, or UL508 have to be adhered to. This information helps you to safely use the MBox-R/V.

Follow and keep all information included with the MBox-R/V. The information in this User's Guide does not alter the terms of your purchase agreement or the TQ-Systems GmbH Limited Warranty. Your safety is important to us. The MBox-R/V is developed to be safe and effective. Power cords, power adapters, and other features can create potential safety risks that may result in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce these risks, follow the instructions in this User's Guide, and observe all warnings on the MBox-R/V and in this User's Guide. By carefully following the information contained in this User's Guide and provided with the MBox-R/V, you can help protect yourself from hazards and create a safer environment.

Do not attempt to service the MBox-R/V yourself unless instructed to do so by TQ-Systems GmbH or this User's Guide.

1.8 Grounding Considerations

Be aware, that the chassis of the MBox-R/V is internally connected to Digital Ground (Power Supply Connector GND). Depending on the Power Supply Unit used, it also might be connected or not to protective earth (PE). This has to be considered, when connecting other components to the MBox-R/V. The grounding of the MBox-R/V might also influence the electromagnetic emission of the MBox-R/V. TQ-Systems GmbH recommends using the CINCON TRG70A power supply unit or equivalent, where PE is connected to GND.

1.9 ESD Considerations

To avoid damaging the MBox-R/V caused by ESD make sure the following measures are adhered to: Ground your workplace with e.g. anti-static mats and ground yourself with a wrist strap. Only use conductive tools when working

on the MBox-R/V. Always handle electrostatic sensitive components at their edges, preferably wear conductive gloves. Remove the power cord from the MBox-R/V before inserting or removing connectors or before inserting or removing add-on

cards. Don’t touch the contacts of connectors. Keep you work environment tidy and free of non-conductive materials.

1.10 Handling the MBox-R/V

Note: Handling the MBox-R/V

Improper or incorrect handling of the MBox-R/V can substantially reduce its life span. TQ-Systems GmbH cannot be held responsible for unauthorized modifications made by the user and the consequences thereof, which may alter the conformity of the MBox-R/V.

1.11 Coin Cell Battery

Note: Coin cell battery

Danger of explosion if the coin cell battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the coin cell battery only with a coin cell battery of the same type and size. Check for correct polarity before inserting the coin cell battery in its socket. Do not immerse into water, heat to more than +100 °C, repair or disassemble the coin cell battery. Dispose the coin cell battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.
