Regulatory Compliance Statements
This section describes how to keep the unit CE compliant.

CE Certification
The product(s) described in this user’s guide complies with all applicable European
Union (CE) directives if it has a CE marking. The CE declaration of conformity is
provided on the last page of this user’s guide. For computer systems to remain CE
compliant, only CE-compliant parts may be used. Maintaining CE compliance also requires proper
cable and cabling techniques. Although Kontron offers accessories, the customer must ensure
that these products are installed with proper shielding to maintain CE compliance. Kontron does
not offer engineering services for designing cabling systems. In addition, Kontron will not retest
or recertify systems or components that have been reconfigured by customers.
Units that are marked for CE (European) certification are installed in a NEMA 4 enclosure rather
than the T-BOX metal enclosure. Further, to ensure that there is minimum susceptibility to EMI
and minimum radiation, it is important that there be a positive chassis ground. Proper EMI
cabling techniques (cable shields connected to chassis ground at the aperture, twisted pair
wiring, and, in extreme cases, ferrite-level of EMI protection) must be used.
