Caution: Do not touch the illumination LED during handling. Improper handling may damage the LED.
General Requirements
ESD
ESD protection has been taken into account when designing the RT214. However, due to limited board space, additional ESD
protection, such as TVS protection, is not provided on the engine’s I/O interface. It is advised to take corresponding protection
measures when integrating the engine.
The engine is shipped in ESD safe packaging. Always exercise care when handling the engine outside its package. Be sure
grounding wrist straps and properly grounded work areas are used.
Dust and Dirt
The RT214 must be sufficiently enclosed to prevent dust particles from gathering on the lens and circuit board. Dust and other
external contaminants will eventually degrade the engine’s performance.
Ambient Environment
The following environmental requirements should be met to ensure good performance of the RT214.
