2 Safety
instructions
Warning:
The high voltage levels used to operate the STEVAL-IHT005V2
board could present a serious electrical shock hazard. This
demonstration board must be used in a suitable laboratory by
qualified personnel only, familiar with the installation, use,
and maintenance of power electrical systems.
2.1 Intended
use
The STEVAL-IHT005V2 demonstration board is a component designed for demonstration
purposes only, and not to be used either for domestic installation or for industrial installation.
The technical data as well as the information concerning the power supply and working
conditions should be taken from the documentation included in the kit and strictly observed.
2.2 Installation
Installation instructions for the STEVAL-IHT005V2 demonstration board must be taken from
the present user manual and strictly observed. The components must be protected against
excessive strain. In particular, no components are to be bent, or isolating distances altered
during transportation, handling or use. No contact must be made with electronic
components and contacts. The STEVAL-IHT005V2 demonstration board contains
electrostatically sensitive components that are prone to damage through improper use.
Electrical components must not be mechanically damaged or destroyed (to avoid potential
risks and health injury).
2.3 Electrical
connection
Applicable national accident prevention rules must be followed when working on the mains
power supply. The electrical installation must be completed in accordance with the
appropriate requirements (e.g. cross-sectional areas of conductors, fusing, PE
connections). In particular, the programming device must be disconnected from the board
JTAG connector when the board is plugged into the mains.
2.4 Board
operation
A system architecture which supplies power to the demonstration board must be equipped
with additional control and protective devices in accordance with the applicable safety
requirements (e.g. compliance with technical equipment and accident prevention rules).
Note:
Do not touch the board after disconnection from the mains power supply, as several parts
and power terminals which contain possibly energized capacitors need to be allowed to
discharge completely.
