Important Notes 1
This chapter deals with important information's to warranty, support and operation of the C-Control-
Pro hardware and software.
1.1 Introduction
The C-Control Pro Systems are based on the Atmel Mega 32 and the Atmel Mega 128 RISC
Microcontrollers, resp.. These Microcontrollers are used in large numbers in a broad variety of
devices from entertainment electronics through household appliances to various application
facilities in the industries. There the controller takes charge of important control tasks. C-Control
Pro offers this highly sophisticated technology to solve your controlling problems. You can acquire
analog measuring values and switch positions and provide corresponding switching signals
dependent on these input conditions, e. g. for Relais and servo motors. In conjunction with a DCF-
77 radio antenna C-Control Pro can receive the time with atomic accuracy and thus take over
precise time switch functions. Various hardware interfaces and bus systems allow the cross
linking of C-Control Pro with sensors, actors and other control systems. We want to provide a
broad user range with our technology. From our former work in C-Control service we know that
also customers without any experience in electronics and programming but eager to learn are
interested in C-Control. If you happen to belong to this user group please allow us to give you the
following advice:
C-Control Pro is only of limited use for the entry into programming of micro computers and
electronic circuit technique! We presuppose that you have at least a basic knowledge in a higher
programming language such as BASIC, PASCAL, C, C++ or Java. Furthermore we presume that
you are used to operating a PC under one of the Microsoft operating systems (98SE/NT/2000/ME/
XP). You should further be experienced in working with soldering irons, multimeters and electronic
components. We have made every effort to formulate all descriptions as simple as possible.
Unfortunately we were not able to do without the use of technical terms and expressions in an
operating manual to the themes involved here. If need be please see the appropriate technical
literature.
1.2 Reading this operating manual
Please read this operating manual thoroughly prior to putting the C-Control Pro Unit into operation.
While several chapters are only of interest for the understanding of the deeper coherence's, others
contain important information's whose non-compliance may lead to malfunctions or even damages.
Chapters and paragraphs containing important themes are marked by a symbol.
Please read the entire manual prior to putting the unit into operation since it contains important
notes for correct operation. In case of damages to material or personnel caused by improper
handling or non-compliance to this operating manual the warranty claim will expire! We will further
not take liability for consequential damages.
