Safety guidelines
v
Warning!
The RS1/RM1 units are designed for
operation with safety extra-low vol-
tage. Accordingly, only safety extra-
low voltages (SELV) to
IEC950/EN60950/VDE0805 may be
connected to the supply voltage
connections.
ESD protection
The 100 Mbit/s modules contain compo-
nents highly sensitive to electrostatic fields.
These components can be easily destroyed
or have their lives shortened by an electrical
field or by a discharge caused by touching
the card.
For these reasons, the 100 Mbit/s modules
are delivered in a conducting ESD protec-
tive bag. This packing can be reused.
Be sure to observe the following precauti-
ons for electrostatic sensitive devices when
handling the components:
M Establish electrical potential equality bet-
ween yourself and your surroundings, e.g.
with the aid of a wrist bracelet.
M Only then remove the 100 Mbit/s modu-
les from the conducting bag.
M Store the 100 Mbit/s modules in its con-
ducting bag whenever it is not in the chas-
sis.
ESD protective field kits are available for
working with electrostatic sensitive devices.
You can find more information about devi-
ces vulnerable to electrostatic fields in
DIN/IEC 47 (Sec) 1330; February 1994 Editi-
on and DIN EN 100 015.
