Safety Instructions
When working with CPCI-ASIO4 modules follow the instructions below and read the manual carefully to protect
yourself and the CPCI-ASIO4 module from damage.
The device is a built-in component. It is essential to ensure that the device is mounted in a way that cannot lead to
endangering or injury of persons or damage to objects.
The device has to be securely installed in the control cabinet before commissioning.
Protect the CPCI-ASIO4 module from dust, moisture and steam.
Protect the CPCI-ASIO4 module from shocks and vibrations.
The CPCI-ASIO4 module may become warm during normal use. Always allow adequate ventilation around the
CPCI-ASIO4 and use care when handling.
Do not operate the CPCI-ASIO4 module adjacent to heat sources and do not expose it to unnecessary thermal
radiation. Ensure an ambient temperature as specified in the technical data.
Do not use damaged or defective cables to connect the CPCI-ASIO4 module.
In case of damages to the device, which might affect safety, appropriate and immediate measures must be taken, that
exclude an endangerment of persons and domestic animals, or property.
Current circuits which are connected to the device have to be sufficiently protected against hazardous voltage (SELV
according to EN 60950-1).
The CPCI-ASIO4 may only be driven by power supply current circuits, that are contact protected. A power supply,
that provides a safety extra-low voltage (SELV or PELV) according to EN 60950-1, complies with this conditions.
Attention !
Electrostatic discharges may cause damage to electronic components.
To avoid this, please discharge the static electricity from your body before you touch the CPCI-ASIO4.
Qualified Personal
This documentation is directed exclusively towards qualified personal in control and automation engineering.
The installation and commissioning of the product may only be carried out by qualified personal, which is authorized to
put devices, systems and electric circuits into operation according to the applicable national standards of safety
engineering.
Conformity
The CPCI-ASIO4 module is an industrial product and meets the demands of the EU regulations and EMC standards
printed in the conformity declaration at the end of this manual.
Warning:
In a residential, commercial or light industrial environment the CBX-module may cause radio
interferences in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Note:
CE-conformity is only warranted if shielded cables are used.
Intended Use
The intended use of the CPCI-ASIO4 module is the operation as a serial interface in a CompactPCI-system.
The esd guarantee does not cover damages which result from improper use, usage not in accordance with regulations or
disregard of safety instructions and warnings.
The CPCI-ASIO4 is intended for installation in a CompactPCI-system only.
The operation of the CPCI-ASIO4 in hazardous areas, or areas exposed to potentially explosive materials is not
permitted.
The operation of the CPCI-ASIO4 for medical purposes is prohibited.
Service Note
The CPCI-ASIO4 does not contain any parts that require maintenance by the user. The CPCI-ASIO4 does not require
any manual configuration of the hardware. Unauthorized intervention in the device voids warranty claims.
Disposal
Devices which have become defective in the long run have to be disposed in an appropriate way or have to be returned
to the manufacturer for proper disposal. Please, make a contribution to environmental protection.
