1.4. Precautions of Use
Damage caused by improper handling is not covered by the manufacturer warranty.
Risk of electrical shock
□
Do not operate the device with removed enclosure cover.
□
Use exclusively isolated DC power sources with the adequate voltage and power ratings.
□
Operate the device and its power supply only in a dry, weather-protected location.
Risk of permanent damage
□
Electronic devices can be damaged by electrostatic discharges.
□
Euresys devices are compliant with electrostatic discharges regulatory requirements.
However, it is required to apply any general procedure aimed at reducing the risk
associated to electrostatic discharge.
Risk of malfunction due to EMI
□
Electronic devices can be disturbed by electromagnetic interferences.
□
Euresys devices are compliant with electromagnetic susceptibility regulatory
requirements. However, it is required to apply any general procedure aimed at reducing
the risk associated to electromagnetic interferences.
Risks due to overheating
□
In case of inadequate cooling, the temperature of the device may become excessive,
leading to a device malfunction, permanent damage, and risk of fire.
□
The device is designed for fan-less operation and natural air convection cooling. However,
it is required to apply any general procedure aimed at facilitating the circulation of the air
flow around the enclosure.
Risks due to poor grounding protection
□
Poor ground interconnection, ground loop or ground fault may induce unwanted voltage
between equipments, causing excessive current in the interconnecting cables. This faulty
situation can damage the electronic devices and its peripherals.
□
The computer and the camera can be located in distant areas with distinct ground
connections.
□
The user must follow proper equipment grounding practices at all ends of the
interconnecting cables. In addition, it is recommended to use cable assemblies with
overall shield solidly connected to the conductive shell of all connectors. Besides the
beneficial effect of cable shielding on electromagnetic compatibility, the shield connection
can increase the protection level against grounding problems in temporarily absorbing
unwanted faulty current.
