6.1

EMC

The MB-COMHPCM-1 was developed according to the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Depending on the target system, anti-interference measures may still be necessary to guarantee that the limits for the overall system including housing are met.

6.2

ESD

In order to avoid interspersion on the signal path from the input to the protection circuit in the system, the protection against electrostatic discharge should be arranged directly at the inputs of a system. Most external interfaces are protected using ESD protection diodes. Measurements for ESD protection have to be done with the electronic parts mounted in a housing. Since TQSystems GmbH does not offer a housing for the MB-COMHPCM-1, no special preventive measures are taken.

6.3

Operational Safety and Personal Security

Due to the occurring voltages (12 V DC), tests with respect to the operational and personal safety have not been carried out.
