1.10. For Your Safety

Your new Kontron Compact Computers (KCC) product was developed and tested carefully to provide

all features necessary 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 KCC 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 KCC product, always ensure that your mains power is switched off.

This applies also to the installation of piggybacks or peripherals. Serious electrical 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

Kontron Compact Computers 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 electronic and electrical equipment. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical and

Electronic Equipment Directive (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.
