6.3.2 Intended Use and System Integration
The devices are not ready to use as delivered by cronologic. It requires the development of
specialized software to fulfill the application of the end user. The device is provided to sys-
tem integrators to be built into measurement systems that are distributed to end users. These
systems usually consist of a the Ndigo5G, a main board, a case, application software and pos-
sible additional electronics to attach the system to some type of detector. They might also be
integrated with the detector.
The Ndigo5G is designed to comply with DIN EN 61326-1 when operated on a PCI compliant
main board housed in a properly shielded enclosure. When operated in a closed standard
compliant PC enclosure the device does not pose any hazards as defined by EN 61010-1.
Radiated emissions, noise immunity and safety highly depend on the quality of the enclosure.
It is the responsibility of the system integrator to ensure that the assembled system is compliant
to applicable standards of the country that the system is operated in, especially with regards
to user safety and electromagnetic interference. Compliance was only tested for attached cables
shorter than 3m.
All power supplied to the system must be turned off before installing the board.
When handling the board, adequate measures have to be taken to protect the circuits against
electrostatic discharge (ESD).
6.3.3 Cooling
The Ndigo5G in its base configuration has passive cooling that requires a certain amount of air
flow. If the case design can’t provide enough air flow to the board, a slot cooler like Zalman
ZM-SC100 can be placed next to the board. Active cooling is also available as an option to the
board.
6.3.4 Environmental Conditions
Temperature, Humidity: tbd.
6.3.5 Inputs
All inputs are AC coupled. The inputs have very high input bandwidth requirements and
therefore there are no circuits that provide over voltage protection for these signals. Any voltage
on the inputs above 5V or below -5V relative to the voltage of the slot cover can result in
permanent damage to the board.
6.3.6 Recycling
cronologic is registered with the “Stiftung Elektro-Altger¨ ate Register” as a manufacturer of
electronic systems with Registration ID DE 77895909.
The Ndigo5G belongs to category 9, “ ¨ Uberwachungs und Kontrollinstrumente f¨ ur ausschließlich
gewerbliche Nutzung”. The last owner of a Ndigo5G must recycle it or treat the board in com-
pliance with
§
11 and
§
12 of the German ElektroG or return it to cronologic at the address listed
