Safety instructions
General safety instructions
Protect the unit against moisture, dirt and any kind of damage during
transport, storage and operation. Do not operate the unit outside the specified
technical data.
Never open the housing. If not otherwise specified, install in closed housing
(e.g. distribution cabinet). Earth the unit at the terminals provided, if
existing, for this purpose. Do not obstruct cooling of the unit. Keep out of
the reach of children.
WARNING
- Life-threatening voltages are present within and around an open control cabinet.
- When installing this product in a control cabinet or any other areas where dangerous voltages are present, always switch off the power supply to the cabinet or equipment.
- Risk of fire if not installed and operated properly.
- Follow all applicable electrical safety standards, guidelines, specifications and regulations for installation, wiring and operations of this product.
- The Raspberry Pi Compute Module board could generate a substantial amount of heat when the software forces the CPU and/or GPU to operate at high load levels. Ensure that the product is properly installed and ventilated to prevent overheating.
- The Exo Sense Pi internal power supply could generate a substantial amount oh heat, particularly when subject to a significant amount of electrical load.
- An internal fan significantly improves the airflow and heat dissipation. Depending on external environmental conditions, the fan could collect a significant amount of dust or other impurities, that could prevent it from spinning or could reduce its effectiveness. Periodically check that the fan is not blocked or partially obstructed.
- The connection of expansion devices to this product may damage the product and other connected systems and may violate safety rules and regulations regarding radio interference and electromagnetic compatibility.
- Use only appropriate tools when installing this product. Using excessive force with tools may damage the product, alter its characteristics or degrade its safety.
Battery
- Exo Sense Pi uses a small lithium non-rechargeable battery to power its internal real-time clock (RTC).
- Improper handling of lithium batteries can result in an explosion of the batteries and/or the release of harmful substances.
- Worn-out or defective batteries can compromise the function of this product.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
Swallowing may lead to serious injury or death in as little as 2 hours due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the esophagus. Immediately see a doctor. Replace the RTC lithium battery before it is completely discharged. Replace the battery every 5 years even if the battery is still working properly. The lithium battery must be replaced only with an identical CR1025 Lithium / Manganese Dioxide (Li/MnO2) battery. Do not throw lithium batteries into fire, do not solder on the cell body, do not recharge, do not open, do not short-circuit, do not reverse polarity, do not heat above 100°C, and protect from direct sunlight, moisture, and condensation. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations and the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
