Power Supply 
The following table lists the key tests and thresholds for the device's power supply: 
IEC/EN 61131-2  Review of the DC supply characteristics 
Alternatively, the power supply must comply with the following stan-
dards: 
IEC/EN 61131-2 or 
SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or  
PELV (Protective Extra Low Voltage) 
HIMax devices must be fuse protected as specified in this manual 
Voltage range test: 
24 VDC, -20 %...+25 % (19.2 V...30.0 V) 
Momentary external current interruption immunity test: 
DC, PS 2: 10 ms 
Reversal of DC power supply polarity test: 
Refer to corresponding chapter of the system manual or data sheet of 
power supply. 
 
Backup duration withstand test: 
Test B, 1000 h

ESD Protective Measures 
Only personnel with knowledge of ESD protective measures may modify or extend the 
system or replace a module. 
 
NOTE
 
 
Electrostatic discharge can damage the electronic components within the control-
lers! 
  When performing the work, make sure that the workspace is free of static, and 
wear an ESD wrist strap. 
  If not used, ensure that the module is protected from electrostatic discharge, e.g., 
by storing it in its packaging. 
Only personnel with knowledge of ESD protective measures may modify or extend 
the system wiring. 
 
 
2.1.4  Requirements to be met by the operator and the machine and system 
manufacturers 
The operator and the machine and system manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that 
HIMax systems are safely operated in automated systems and plants. 
The machine and system manufacturers must validate that the HIMax systems are correctly 
programmed. 
2.2 Residual Risk 
No imminent danger results from a HIMax system itself. 
Residual risk may result from: 
  Faults in the engineering 
  Faults in the user program 
  Faults in the wiring
