digital I/O cables. Your results may vary, depending on your application, so additional shielding or filtering may be needed to maintain the Class B emission qualification.

NOTE: If no ferrite absorbers are fitted, the Jackrabbit boards will still meet EN55022:1998 Class A requirements as long as the spectrum spreader is turned on.

The spectrum spreader is on by default for Jackrabbit models BL1810 and BL1820. The spectrum spreader is off by default for the Jackrabbit model BL1800, and must be turned on with at least one wait state in order for the BL1800 model to be CE-compliant.

Section 3.8.3 provides further information about the spectrum spreader and its use, and includes information on how to add a wait state.

1.4.1 Design Guidelines

Note the following requirements for incorporating the Jackrabbit series of single-board computers into your application to comply with CE requirements.

General

•The power supply provided with the Development Kit is for development purposes only. It is the customer’s responsibility to provide a CE-compliant power supply for the end-product application.

•When connecting the Jackrabbit single-board computer to outdoor cables, the customer is responsible for providing CE-approved surge/lightning protection.

•Rabbit recommends placing digital I/O or analog cables that are 3 m or longer in a metal conduit to assist in maintaining CE compliance and to conform to good cable design practices. Rabbit also recommends using properly shielded I/O cables in noisy electromagnetic environments.

•When installing or servicing the Jackrabbit, it is the responsibility of the end-user to use proper ESD precautions to prevent ESD damage to the Jackrabbit.

Safety

•For personal safety, all inputs and outputs to and from the Jackrabbit series of single- board computers must not be connected to voltages exceeding SELV levels (42.4 V AC peak, or 60 V DC). Damage to the Rabbit 2000 microprocessor may result if voltages outside the design range of 0 V to 5.5 V DC are applied directly to any of its digital inputs.

•The lithium backup battery circuit on the Jackrabbit single-board computer has been designed to protect the battery from hazardous conditions such as reverse charging and excessive current flows. Do not disable the safety features of the design.

1.4.2 Interfacing the Jackrabbit to Other Devices

Since the Jackrabbit series of single-board computers is designed to be connected to other devices, good EMC practices should be followed to ensure compliance. CE compliance is ultimately the responsibility of the integrator.
