General
Danger of electrostatic discharge. Electrostatic sensitive devices, which are any electronic
components at risk of damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), are marked by this
symbol.
ESD Warning!
Despite protective measures, our components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Electrostatic
charge may accumulate unnoticed and may even cause damage without your being immediately aware
of it. Such damage can be avoided by carrying out all work at "safe" work stations and by utilizing
packaging with electrostatic shielding when transporting sensitive components.
Always follow ESD precautions!
Caution!
When handling static sensitive devices, observe the following guidelines:
·
Always statically discharge yourself (e.g. by touching a grounded object) before handling static
sensitive devices.
·
Any equipment and tools used must also be free from static charge.
·
Unplug the power cord before removing or inserting static sensitive devices.
·
Handle static sensitive devices by their edges.
·
Never touch a connection pin or conducting track on static sensitive devices.
·
Always ensure that electrostatic charge does not form at contacts between device sockets and
their leads. Any charge which may develop here is to be lead off. Damage resulting from ESD is
not covered in the guarantee.
1.2.1.3 Transporting imc CANSAS
When transporting the imc CANSAS module, always use the original packaging or an appropriate
packaging which protects the device against knocks and jolts. Above all, never let the module fall. If
transport damage occurs, please be sure to contact the imc customer service.
Possible damage due to condensation can be limited by wrapping the device in plastic sheeting. For more
on this topic, see the notes under
.
1.2.1.4 After Unpacking...
Please check the device for mechanical damage and/ or loose parts after unpacking it. The supplier must
be notified immediately of any transportation damage! Do not operate a damaged device!
Note that a imc CANSAS module must be configured before being taken into operation!
1.2.1.5 Guarantee
Each device is subjected to a 24-hour "burn-in" before leaving imc. This procedure is capable of
recognizing almost all cases of early failure. This does not, however, guarantee that a component will not
fail after longer operation. Therefore, all imc devices are guaranteed to function properly for
one year
.
The condition for this guarantee is that no alterations or modifications have been made to the device by
the customer.
