1.3 Safety Notices
The following general safety precautions represent warnings of certain dangers of
which Abaco Systems is aware. Failure to comply with these or with specific
Warnings and/or Cautions elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of
design, manufacture and intended use of the equipment. Abaco Systems assumes no
liability for the user’s failure to comply with these requirements.
Also follow all warning instructions contained in associated system equipment
manuals.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting this equipment. This device may operate in an
environment containing potentially dangerous voltages.
Ensure that all power to the system is removed before installing any device.
To minimize shock hazard, connect the equipment chassis and rack/enclosure to an electrical ground. If AC
power is supplied to the rack/enclosure, the power jack and mating plug of the power cable must meet IEC
safety standards.
1.3.1
EMI/EMC Regulatory Compliance
Products sold or transferred between companies or operated on company premises
(factory floor, laboratory) do not need CE, FCC or equivalent certification. Boards or
subsystems which cannot provide a useful function on their own do not need
certification.
Certification can only be granted to complete and operational systems. There are
authorized testing agencies, regulatory organizations and laboratories who will issue
certificates of compliance after system testing.
Abaco designs and tests all their products for EMI/EMC conformance. Where Abaco
supplies a complete/functional system for use by end users a certificate will be cited
in the manuals/documents which are provided with the products.
Products manufactured by Abaco should normally be suitable for use in properly
designed and produced customer equipment (system boxes or operational systems)
without any major redesign or additional filtering. However, the systems might not
conform to specific regulations once assembled and used. The system integrator or
installer must test for compliance as required in his country or by the intended
application and certify this to the end user.
1.3.2
ESD/EMI Issues
ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) and EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) issues may
show up in complete and operational systems. There are many ways to avoid
problems with these issues.
Any operational system with cables for I/O signals, connectivity or peripheral
devices provides an entry point for ESD and EMI. If Abaco does not manufacture the
complete system, including enclosure and cables, it is the responsibility of the
