Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Compliance
The ‘EPSILON5’ is a CE Approved Product. It is designed for use in an ESD controlled environment
i.e. development or production. This means, therefore, that the user must ensure that there is no
possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Since the devices and equipment to which
this product is likely to be connected may well themselves be susceptible to ESD, this should not
pose any difficulty.
For example, if you are handling microcontrollers and EEPROMS etc. then you will already be used to
appropriate precautions, such as the use of anti-static mats, wrist straps and so on. You should treat
your ‘EPSILON5’ with the same care as you would these types of devices. Always ensure that you
are not yourself carrying a static charge before handling the product. Wearing an earthed anti-static
wrist strap is recommended.
Equinox have taken great care in designing this product to be compliant with the European EMC
directive. When using the equipment be sure to follow the instructions provided. Although RF
emissions are within prescribed limits, care should be taken if you are using the product near to
sensitive apparatus. If you experience any difficulty please refer to Equinox Technical Support.
