Handling Your System Safely

Anti-Static Handling

The Helios platform is designed to meet the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) criteria

contained in IEC 61000-4-2 (EMC – Part 4-2: Testing and Measurement Techniques –

Electrostatic Discharge Immunity Test). The electronics included in the enclosure contain

CMOS devices that could be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Observe

industry-standard electronic handling procedures when handling these electronics.

Where possible, work on a grounded anti-static mat. At a minimum, touch an electrically

grounded object before handling any electronics.

Packaging

Please ensure that, should a system need to be returned to Eurotech, it is adequately

packed, preferably in the original packing material.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

The Helios platform is defined as an unintentional radiator of electromagnetic energy.
