1.10. For Your Safety

Your new DIGITAL-LOGIC product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features neces- sary to ensure its compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long, fault-free life. However, this life expectancy can be drastically reduced by improper treatment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interest of your own safety and for the correct operation of your new DIGITAL-LOGIC product, please comply with the following guidelines.

Attention!

All work on this device must only be carried out by sufficiently skilled personnel.

Caution, Electric Shock!

Before installing your new DIGITAL-LOGIC product, always ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also to the installation of piggybacks or peripherals. Serious electri- cal shock hazards can exist during all installation, repair and maintenance operations with this product. Therefore, always unplug the power cable and any other cables which provide external voltage before performing work.

Warning, ESD Sensitive Device!

Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static electricity. In order to ensure product integrity at all times, be careful during all handling and examinations of this product.

1.11. RoHS Commitment

DIGITAL-LOGIC AG is committed to develop and produce environmentally friendly products according to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive (2002/95/EC) and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive (2002/96/EC) established by the European Union. The RoHS directive was adopted in February 2003 by the European Union and came into effect on July 1, 2006. It is not a law but a directive, which restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacturing of various types of elec- tronic and electrical equipment. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Direc- tive (WEEE) 2002/96/EC, which has set targets for collection, recycling and recovery of electrical goods and is part of a legislative initiative to solve the problem of huge amounts of toxic e-waste.

Each European Union member state is adopting its own enforcement and implementation policies using the directive as a guide. Therefore, there could be as many different versions of the law as there are states in the EU. Additionally, non-EU countries like China, Japan, or states in the U.S. such as California may have their own regulations for green products, which are similar, but not identical, to the RoHS directive.
