3.1. Safety instructions
Caution:
Integrated circuits (ICs) are inserted on the decoder. They are sensitive to static electricity.
Do not touch components without first discharging yourself. Touching a radiator or other
grounded metal part will discharge you.
Mechanical hazards
Cut wires can have sharp ends and can cause serious injuries. Watch out for sharp edges
when you pick up the PCB.
Visibly damaged parts can cause unpredictable danger. Do not use damaged parts: recycle
and replace them with new ones.
Electrical hazards
Touching powered, live components,
touching conducting components which are live due to malfunction,
short circuits and connecting the circuit to another voltage than specified,
impermissibly high humidity and condensation build up
can cause serious injury due to electrical shock. Take the following precautions to prevent this
danger:
Never perform wiring on a powered module.
Only install the decoder in closed, clean, dry rooms. Beware of humidity.
Supply the decoder only with extra-low voltage as specified in the technical data. Use only
tested and approved transformers.
Connect transformers and soldering irons only in approved mains sockets installed by an
authorised electrician.
Observe cable diameter requirements.
After condensation has formed, wait up to 2 hours for acclimatisation before working.
Fire risk
Touching flammable material with a hot soldering iron can cause fire, which can result in
injury or death through burns or suffocation. Connect your soldering iron or soldering station
only when actually needed. Always keep the soldering iron away from inflammable materials.
Use a suitable soldering iron stand. Never leave a hot soldering iron or station unattended.
