NOTICE
Install Arduino shield
Ensure that the Arduino shield is inserted in its correct orientation. Ensure that the contact
pins of the Arduino shield connect correctly with the terminal strips of the motherboard.
Arduino shield with operator control or display elements
Some Arduino shields have operator control and display elements. The device loses its
approval certificates if you drill or mill openings in the cover in order to make the operator
control or display elements of the Arduino shield accessible or visible from outside. In this
case, the customer is responsible for the re-approval of the device.
Note
Power consumption
If the power consumption of the Arduino shield is too high, the device will be damaged.
Note the information in section "Technical specifications (Page 48)".
Ambient temperature
The temperature in the housing of the device can be up to 30 °C above the maximum
permissible ambient temperature of the device.
Make sure that the maximum permissible ambient temperature of the Arduino shield is
specified accordingly.
