1.1. General and safety information
•
In this section, the term “Waspmote” encompasses both the Waspmote device itself and its modules and sensor boards.
•
Please read carefully through the document “General Conditions of Libelium Sale and Use”.
•
Do not let the electronic parts come into contact with any steel elements, to avoid injuries and burns.
•
NEVER submerge the device in any liquid.
•
Keep the device in a dry place and away from any liquids that might spill.
•
Waspmote contains electronic components that are highly sensitive and can be accessed from outside; handle the devi-
ce with great care and avoid hitting or scratching any of the surfaces.
•
Check the product specifications section for the maximum allowed power voltage and amperage range and always use
current transformers and batteries that work within that range. Libelium will not be responsible for any malfunctions
caused by using the device with any batteries, power supplies or chargers other than those supplied by Libelium.
•
Keep the device within the range of temperatures stated in the specifications section.
•
Do not connect or power the device with damaged cables or batteries.
•
Place the device in a location that can only be accessed by maintenance operatives (restricted area).
•
In any case, keep children away from the device at all times.
•
If there is an electrical failure, disconnect the main switch immediately and disconnect the battery or any other power
supply that is being used.
•
If using a car lighter as a power supply, be sure to respect the voltage and current levels specified in the “Power Supplies”
section.
•
When using a battery as the power supply, whether in combination with a solar panel or not, be sure to use the voltage
and current levels specified in the “Power supplies” section.
•
If a software or hardware failure occurs, consult the Libelium Web
•
Check that the frequencies and power levels of the radio communication modules and the integrated antennas are ap-
propriate for the location in which you intend to use the device.
•
The Waspmote device should be mounted in a protective enclosure, to protect it from environmental conditions such
as light, dust, humidity or sudden changes in temperature. The board should not be definitively installed “as is”, because
the electronic components would be left exposed to the open-air and could become damaged. For a ready-to-install
product, we advise our Plug & Sense! line.
DO NOT TRY TO RECHARGE THE NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERY. IT MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURIES AND
DESTROY THE EQUIPMENT. DEVICES WITH NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES MUST BE PROGRAMMED THROUGH
THE USB CABLE WITHOUT THE BATTERIES CONNECTED. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THIS CONDITION BEFORE
CONNECTING THE USB. DO NOT CONNECT EITHER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE THE SOLAR PANEL TO A DEVICE
WITH A NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERY AS IT MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURIES AND DESTROY THE EQUIPMENT.
