2.12.2 Managing electronic devices
The normal motions of any person may generate electrostatic potential of thousands of volts. Discharge of
this current through semiconductor devices during handling may cause serious damage which although
may not be immediately evident may reduce the reliability of the circuits.
If located in their housings, the electronic circuits of INIM Electronics products are highly immune to
electrostatic discharge.
• Do not expose the circuits to damage by removing the modules unnecessarily from their housings.
• When removing or handling the boards, hold the board edges only.
• Do not touch the electronic components, the printed circuits or the metal parts of the connectors.
• Do not hand the board to another person without first ensuring that both of you have the same
electrostatic potential. This can be achieved by simply shaking hands.
• Place the board on an anti-static surface or a conductor surface with the same potential.
Further information regarding procedures relating to safety when working with electronic devices can be
found in EN 61340-5-1 e CLC/TR 61340-5-2.
2.12.3 Setting up the system
In order to provide adequate protection and instructions for proper use, security professionals (Installers
and maintenance technicians) must be familiar with the operating procedure of this device.
Please read the instructions carefully before installing and setting up this product.
Before first power-up, be sure that the earth connection has been completed properly on the respective terminal.
The recommended minimum wire cross section for the earth connection is 2.5 mm
2
, unless otherwise
stated in accessory documentation.
2.13 Replacement and disposal of used devices
Replacement
When replacing obsolete devices, disconnect the devices concerned then complete the connections of the
new devices in compliance with the instructions printed on the respective leaflets.
In order to avoid short-circuits, take all the necessary precautions when removing used batteries.
Disposal
Do not burn used electronic devices, or allow them to pollute the environment (countryside, rivers, etc.).
Electronic devices must be disposed of in a safe environment-friendly way.
When disposing used devices or batteries, contact your local municipal offices for information regarding
their disposal.
Informative notice regarding the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment
(Applicable in countries with differentiated waste collection systems)
The crossed-out bin symbol on the equipment or on its packaging indicates that the product
must be disposed of correctly at the end of its working life and should never be disposed of
together with general household waste.
The user, therefore, must take the equipment that has reached the end of its working life to the
appropriate civic amenities site designated to the differentiated collection of electrical and
electronic waste.
As an alternative to the autonomous-management of electrical and electronic waste, you can hand over the
equipment you wish to dispose of to a dealer when purchasing new equipment of the same type.
You are also entitled to convey for disposal small electronic-waste products with dimensions of less than
25cm to the premises of electronic retail outlets with sales areas of at least 400m
2
, free of charge and
without any obligation to buy.
Appropriate differentiated waste collection for the subsequent recycling of the discarded equipment, its
treatment and its environmentally compatible disposal helps to avoid possible negative effects on the
environment and on health and favours the re-use and/or recycling of the materials it is made of.
