Important Notes1

This chapter deals with important information's to warranty, support and operation of the C-Control-

Pro hardware and software.

1.1 Introduction

The C-Control Pro Systems are based on the Atmel AVR32 and the Atmel Mega Series (Mega 32,

Mega 128, AT90CAN) resp. These Microcontrollers are used in large numbers in a broad variety of

devices from entertainment electronics through household appliances to various application facilities

in the industries. There the controller takes charge of important control tasks. C-Control Pro offers

this highly sophisticated technology to solve your controlling problems. You can acquire analog

measuring values and switch positions and provide corresponding switching signals dependent on

these input conditions, e. g. for Relais and servo motors. In conjunction with a DCF-77 radio antenna

C-Control Pro can receive the time with atomic accuracy and thus take over precise time switch

functions. Various hardware interfaces and bus systems allow the cross linking of C-Control Pro with

sensors, actors and other control systems. We want to provide a broad user range with our techno-

logy. From our former work in C-Control service we know that also customers without any experi-

ence in electronics and programming but eager to learn are interested in C-Control. If you happen to

belong to this user group please allow us to give you the following advice:

C-Control Pro is only of limited use for the entry into programming of micro computers and electronic

circuit technique! We presuppose that you have at least a basic knowledge in a higher programming

language such as BASIC, PASCAL, C, C++ or Java. Furthermore we presume that you are used to

operating a PC under one of the Microsoft operating systems (2000/XP/Vista/Win7/Win8) . You

should further be experienced in working with soldering irons, multimeters and electronic compon-

ents. We have made every effort to formulate all descriptions as simple as possible. Unfortunately

we were not able to do without the use of technical terms and expressions in an operating manual to

the themes involved here. If need be please see the appropriate technical literature.

1.2 Reading this operating manual

Please read this operating manual thoroughly prior to putting the C-Control Pro Unit into operation.

While several chapters are only of interest for the understanding of the deeper coherence's, others

contain important information's whose non-compliance may lead to malfunctions or even damages.

Chapters and paragraphs containing important themes are marked by a symbol.

Please read the entire manual prior to putting the unit into operation since it contains important

notes for correct operation. In case of damages to material or personnel caused by improper hand-

ling or non-compliance to this operating manual the warranty claim will expire! We will further not

take liability for consequential damages.

1.3 Handling

The C-Control Pro Unit contains sensitive components. These can be destroyed by electrostatic

discharges! Please observe the general rules on handling electronic components. Please organize

your working bench professionally. Ground your body prior to any work being done, e. g. by touch-

ing a grounded and conducting object (e. g. heating radiator). Avoid touching the connection pins

of the C-Control Pro Unit.
