Safety: General rules concerning safe use of our Kits or Modules.
To ensure your safety, please observe these safety measures. In no way are these complete. As
safety requirements vary, please check with your local authorities, in order to comply with local
requirements. If in doubt, seek the help of a qualified person.
Battery or wall-adaptor operated devices are safe devices. They do not require special attention
unless mains voltage is connected to an output e.g. a relay.
To ensure electrical safety, and also protection from fire or personal injury, make sure your
mains operated equipment complies with these safety hints:
•
Use a suitable plastic enclosure. If a metal enclosure is used, make sure it is properly earthed.
•
Use a power switch if the device consumes more than 10W. Use a double pole switch for mains
operated, transformer-less kits.
•
Mount a fuse in series with the mains switch. Use a slow blow (T) 50mA fuse for transformers up
to 10W and a 100mA fuse for transformers up to 20W.
•
Use a mains input connector, or a robust power cord with a clamp.
•
Internal wiring carrying mains voltages must have a minimum cross-sectional area of 0.5mm
2
.
If supplied, attach the power rating label near the power cord of the device and fill-out the mains voltage,
frequency, power consumption and fuse values.
Troubleshooting and Support
90% of non working kits are due to poor soldering.
We operate a Get-You-Going service for non-working kits but there is a charge based on the time and
components needed to complete the repair. Quite often it is not economically viable for us to repair and it
is cheaper to supply a new ready made product at full cost.
