Basic Safety and EMC Compatibility
The PCI-960 board is a fixed component that shall be installed into a stationary system by applying good engineering
practices and respecting the information on the intended use of the components with a view to meeting the protection
requirements [refer to (a) and (b)].
The PCI-960 board was designed and manufactured, having regard to the state of the art, as to ensure that:
(a) the electromagnetic disturbance generated does not exceed the level above which radio and telecommunications
equipment or other equipment cannot operate as intended;
(b) it has a level of immunity to the electromagnetic disturbance to be expected in its intended use which allows it to
operate without unacceptable degradation of its intended use.
The PCI-960 board was designed, manufactured and checked according to the basic safety requirements in the scope of
the low-voltage (LVD) directive.
