Precaution
1) EMI
This device has been registered regarding EMI for residential use. It can be used in all areas.
2) Circuit Test ( Logic Test ) Precautions
The LSI and MSI used in this product are semiconductor integrated circuits based on MOS-FET or CMOS.
Since these types of devices are highly susceptible to static electricity or current leakage, an isolation
break may be caused. Therefore read and follow the instructions below.
a) When handling an LSI or MSI, make sure your body is grounded through a few mega-ohms of
resistance. In addition, wear gloves and a jacket made of cotton and not of synthetic fibers that easily
generate static electricity.
b) When repairing the product, place a conductive material (e.g. aluminum foil) grounded to the earth on
the worktable.
c) You must use a soldering iron without a leakage current.
d) Do not touch the pin of an IC and carefully insert the IC into the black plastic package.
e) When inserting an IC into a PCB, be careful with the direction of the IC. When installing an IC in the
wrong direction, it might become damaged.
f) When carrying an IC, package the IC with conducting material such as aluminum foil or conducting
sponge so as to keep the voltage level of each of the terminals the same.
g) Since the storage temperature of an IC is between -20 ~ +70 degrees, keep it at room temperature, if
possible.
h) Since the storage temperature of an IC is between -20 ~ +70 degrees, keep it at room temperature, if
possible.
i) When soldering an IC, solder it in as short a time as possible so that unnecessary heat is not applied to
the device.
j) Avoid leaving excessive amounts of flux within a custom IC or between the pins when soldering a
custom IC.
k) Take care to not damage the board when installing or separating an Option Board.
l) Take care to not break the printed circuit pattern on the PCB when separate an IC.
1.3. Ground
The product must be grounded to protect it from static electricity and other dangers. When using a multi
tap, please use a multi tap with a ground terminal only.
If you use a 220V wall outlet with a ground terminal, you do not need to ground it additionally. Avoid
using wall outlets if they are not grounded even if they have a ground terminal.
To ground the product, connect the ground to an exclusive ground terminal or metal water pipe. Connect
the ground cable to the ground terminal at the rear of the main body. To ground the product, connect
the ground terminal of the product to a metal water pipe, wall outlet or exclusive ground terminal with
an electric wire equal to or thicker than #18.
Never ground the product to a PVC water pipe, phone line, TV, radio antenna, aluminum window or gas
pipe, because this does not actually ground the product and may be dangerous.
The red box of each image is earth with overlap when inserting a plug or multiple-tab into the socket.
Please check that it should be put the outlet completely.
1.4. Static Electricity Precautions
Many parts of the system are susceptible to static electricity. Using an electrostatic discharge (ESD) device
is very important for the safety of the user and the user's surroundings. Using an ESD device increases
the probability of a successful repair and lowers the expenses for damaged parts.
2) Touch your hands to a metal water pipe or some metal object connected to the ground to discharge
any static Electricity from your body before handling the parts.
6) When a board is not installed in the system, package the board with an anti-static-electricity packaging.
