EMC Compatibility

Product

Compliance e

This product complies with the European directive 89/336/CEE on "electromagnetic compatibility".

The products described in this manual meet all the conditions regarding electromagnetic compatibility and are compliant with the applicable standards. However, this does not mean that the electromagnetic compatibility of your installation is assured.

This is why it is strongly recommended to follow all indications concerning an EMC compliant installation. Only in these conditions and thanks to the exclusive use of CE approved components, will the devices used be deemed as compliant with the EMC directives.

When handling the products, ensure that all safety measures related to electromagnetic compatibility and all conditions for the use of the products are complied with by all persons concerned. This is especially important when handling products sensitive to electrostatic discharges.

WARNING

RISK OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE AND UNINTENDED

EQUIPMENT OPERATION

The products described in this manual contain highly complex semiconductors that can be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic discharges (ESD). If, for example, they are used within the vicinity of devices rated as class A or B according to IEC 6100-4-4, the level of electromagnetic interference may be enough to cause the device to operate unexpectedly, and/or to damage it.

Damage may not necessarily cause a failure or malfunction that is immediately detectable. It may occur sporadically or in a delayed manner.

If there is a risk of electromagnetic interference, the system designer must implement the necessary protective measures.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
