Safety Instructions
● When working with the VME-PMC-CADDY follow the instructions below and read the manual
carefully to protect yourself from injury and the VME-PMC-CADDY from damage.
● The device is a built-in component. It is essential to ensure that the device is mounted in a way
that cannot lead to endangering or injury of persons or damage to objects.
● Do not use damaged or defective cables to connect the VME-PMC-CADDY.
● In case of damages to the device, which might affect safety, appropriate and immediate
measures must be taken, that exclude an endangerment of persons and domestic animals and
property.
● Current circuits which are connected to the device have to be sufficiently protected against
hazardous voltage (SELV according to EN 60950-1).
● The VME-PMC-CADDY may only be driven by power supply current circuits, that are contact
protected. A power supply, that provides a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) according to
EN 60950-1, complies with this conditions.
● The device has to be securely installed in the control cabinet before commissioning.
● Protect the VME-PMC-CADDY from dust, moisture and steam.
● Protect the VME-PMC-CADDY from shocks and vibrations.
● The VME-PMC-CADDY may become warm during normal use. Always allow adequate
ventilation around the VME-PMC-CADDY and use care when handling.
● Do not operate the VME-PMC-CADDY adjacent to heat sources and do not expose it to
unnecessary thermal radiation. Ensure an ambient temperature as specified in the technical
data.
DANGER
Hazardous Voltage -
Risk of electric shock
due to unintentional contact with
uninsulated live parts with high voltages inside of the system into which the VME-PMC-
CADDY is to be integrated.
→ Disconnect all hazardous voltages (mains voltage) before opening the system.
→ Ensure the absence of voltage before starting any electrical work
NOTICE
Electrostatic discharges may cause damage to electronic components.
To avoid this, perform the steps described on page 23
before
you touch the VME-PMC-
CADDY, in order to discharge the static electricity from your body.
Qualified Personal
This documentation is directed exclusively towards personal qualified in control and automation
engineering. The installation and commissioning of the product may only be carried out by qualified
personal, which is authorized to put devices, systems and electric circuits into operation according to
the applicable national standards of safety engineering.
Conformity
The VME-PMC-CADDY is a sub-assembly intended for incorporation into an apparatus by a
manufacturer and NOT by the end user. The manufacturer of the final system must decide, whether
additional EMC or EMI protection requirements are necessary.
Intended Use
The intended use of the VME-PMC-CADDY is the operation as a carrier board for PMC modules in a
VME-system. The guarantee given by esd does not cover damages which result from improper use,
usage not in accordance with regulations or disregard of safety instructions and warnings.
