1 General Information
Important instructions
Prior to use of the unit it is essential to comply with the following instructions. As stipulated by law, we
are providing important safety information and advice how you can avoid damage to the device and
other fittings.
▪ Connection to the power supply must be carried out with correct polarity. Polarity reversal could
cause irreparable damages.
▪ The correct supply voltage is 12V or 24V DC
▪ Operation of the device is allowed only in circuits with safety low voltage within the admissible limit
values (SELV standard EN60950). This applies to all connections to the unit.
▪ The use of a power supply outside the limits defined above could cause damage or even destruction
of the device.
▪ It is forbidden to directly connect the unit to the 230 V mains voltage!
▪ Please avoid mechanical stresses when the device is installed.
▪ The unit has undergone a comprehensive final check to guarantee that it has left the facility in a
perfect condition. Prior to initial operation, the unit has to be examined for damage caused by
transport or inappropriate storage. If there is any damage to the unit it must not be taken into service.
▪ The unit must not be operated with defective safety equipment or with incorrectly mounted or
inoperable safety/protection devices.
▪ Prior to initial operation, please check the suitability of the unit for the specific application. Please
take special note of the admissible environmental and operating conditions specified in the data
sheet.
▪ Any removal of identification numbers, repair work by yourself or modification of the unit is forbidden.
▪ Prior to initial operation carefully read this user manual containing notes and warnings in order to
ensure safe operation.
▪ Unless specified differently, all technical data apply to an environmental temperature of 25°C. The
specified values are subject to the usual fluctuations.
▪ Stresses due to extreme environmental conditions (e.g. heat or cold) over a longer period of time
may influence reliability. Even under normal conditions of use within the admissible limits service
life may be reduced by permanent operation at the limits. Tolerance of the extreme values is subject
to the usual fluctuations.
Warranty and liability
We reserve the right to change the contents of the documentation and the software without notice.
Vector Informatik GmbH assumes no liability for correct contents or damages which are resulted from
the usage of the documentation. We are grateful for references to mistakes or for suggestions for
improvement to be able to offer you even more efficient products in the future.

2 Safety
In order to avoid personal injuries and damage to property, you have to read and understand the
following safety instructions and hazard warnings prior to installation and use of this hardware. Keep
this documentation (manual) always near the hardware.
Please observe the notes in chapter 1.1 in addition to this chapter.
Proper Use and Intended Purpose
The hardware may only be operated (i) according to the instructions and descriptions of this manual; (ii)
with the electric power supply designed for the hardware, e.g. USB-powered power supply; and (iii) with
accessories manufactured or approved by Vector.
The hardware is exclusively designed for use by skilled personnel as its operation may result in serious
personal injuries and damage to property. Therefore, only those persons may operate the hardware who
(i) have understood the possible effects of the actions which may be caused by the hardware; (ii) are
specifically trained in the handling with the hardware, bus systems and the system intended to be
influenced; and (iii) have sufficient experience in using the hardware safely.
The knowledge necessary for the operation of the hardware can be acquired in workshops and internal
or external seminars offered by Vector. Additional and hardware specific information, such as „Known
Issues“, are available in the „Vector KnowledgeBase“ on Vector´s website at www.vector.com. Please
consult the „Vector KnowledgeBase“ for updated information prior to the operation of the hardware.
Hazards
The hardware may control and/or otherwise influence the behavior of control systems and electronic
control units. Serious hazards for life, body and property may arise, in particular, without limitation, by
interventions in safety relevant systems (e.g. by deactivating or otherwise manipulating the engine
management, steering, airbag and/or braking system) and/or if the hardware is operated in public areas
(e.g. public traffic, airspace). Therefore, you must always ensure that the hardware is used in a safe
manner. This includes, inter alia, the ability to put the system in which the hardware is used into a safe
state at any time (e.g. by „emergency shutdown“), in particular, without limitation, in the event of errors
or hazards.
Comply with all safety standards and public regulations which are relevant for the operation of the
system. Before you operate the system in public areas, it should be tested on a site which is not
accessible to the public and specifically prepared for performing test drives in order to reduce hazards.
Battery notice
CAUTION!
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Please also see the battery supplementary sheet!
Valid only for devices containing a battery.
Electrostatically Sensitive Components (ESD)
A sudden electrostatic discharge could destroy sensitive components. Therefore, proper packaging and
grounding prescriptions must be observed. Please always observe the following safety advices.
1. Plug-in cards always have to be transported in electrostatically safe containers or bags.
2. Please leave electrostatically sensitive components in their containers until they have reached the
electrostatically safe assembly site.
3. Take care that you are correctly grounded if you touch electrostatically sensitive components.
4. Make sure that electrostatically sensitive components are stored in protective packages or on
antistatic mats.
Grounding practices
By observing the following measures, electrostatic damage to the device can be avoided.
1. Lay out antistatic mats at the work place. Wear a grounding strap which is connected to the work
place and the working tools.
2. Use antistatic foot mats, foot grounding equipment or air ionizers to provide additional safety.
3. Only touch sensitive components, plug-in cards and units on the housing or at the outer edges of
the plug-in cards.
4. Avoid contact with pins, wires and conductor tracks.
5. Make sure that all voltage and signal sources are switched off before establishing or disconnecting
electric connections or connecting testing devices.
6. Avoid non-conductive materials such as usual mounting accessories made of plastics or
polystyrene at the work place.
7. Use conductive tools (e.g. ESD screwdrivers) when working on electrostatically sensitive units and
components.
8. Always put plug-in cards and drives on the antistatic mat with the component side downwards.
Warning of hot surface
The BRICK CORE COM System can become very hot during operation and should
not be touched without appropriate precautions. There is danger of burning!
Disclaimer
Claims based on defects and liability claims against Vector are excluded to the extent damages or errors
are caused by improper use of the hardware or use not according to its intended purpose. The same
applies to damages or errors arising from insufficient training or lack of experience of personnel using
the hardware.
3 System Configuration
The BRICK CORE COM is available in various variants. This means that, for each area of application,
an optimum ratio of system scope, performance and price can be obtained. Please observe the following
chapters to obtain detailed information on the different options of configuration of the BRICK CORE
COM and additional accessories.
A BRICK CORE COM system can comprise 3 HW feature sets:
