2.4 Installation Risks
Concerning errors during the installation of the equipment:

• If the board is supplied with inverse polarity: The device integrates input reverse polarity protection, but a continued exposure to reverse polarity may break the input protection. The cables are differenced by two colors to help minimize the chances of error (red and black).

2.5 Radio Frequency (RF)
Safety Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow all the special regulations that may apply regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below. Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.
2.6 Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices
Potential interference
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the Advancement of Medical
Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.
The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Precautions for pacemaker wearers
Based on current research, devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers. However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device does not cause a problem. If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:

• Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart rhythm.
• Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly.
• Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart’s own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.
• Keep the device on the opposite side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the pacemaker and the device.
• Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker.

Device Maintenance
When maintaining your device:

• Do not attempt to disassemble the device. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Do not expose the board directly to any extreme environment where the temperature or humidity is high.
• Do not expose the board directly to water, rain, or spilled beverages. It is not waterproof.
• Do not place the DBoard alongside computer discs, credit or travel cards, or other magnetic media. The information contained on discs or cards may be affected by the device.

Using accessories, such as antennas, that PVH has not authorized may invalidate the warranty. If the device is not working properly, contact PVH Technical Support.

Installation instructions

4.1. Power the board

WARNING
Equipment intended to build in without enclosure. Additional means shall be provided in order to protect the user against mechanical, thermal, and electrical shock risks. It shall be
evaluated at the final installation.
WARNING
The board should not be connected while the power supply is on.

The BOARD is powered through one SPT 2.5/4-V-5.0 connector in the left lower part of the board. 24VDC powered, this power supply may come from an AC/DC converter, battery, DC/DC converter, etc. Most of the power supply will work with the BOARD, but the condensers in the input may be considered. The regulated source between 5 – 30V on 24V with current limiting and short circuit protection. When the BOARD is powered, the PWR LED must be ON.
4.2. Program the board
Through the JT1 connector, the firmware of the BOARD should be loaded in the microcontroller memory. The micro can access the NFC EEPROM memory, where, as an example, the user could write the configurable parameters for commissioning the board.

Commissioning procedure

The commissioning procedure may be carried out by writing in the NFC memory of the board. Then the firmware may use this data stored in the memory to control and interact with the devices attached to the board.
To facilitate the commissioning, it is based on a smartphone application developed by DEEPTRACK. This application runs in any android smartphone with NFC implemented. In case of a bad NFC implementation of the phone, there can be some difficulties to connecting, so we recommend using one of the following devices that have been validated by the application developers:
– Huawei Y8 2018
– Motorola G6
The commissioning consists of setting the parameters in every BOARD by writing them in its NFC memory. If LoRa is required, the application must also write the radio and unique ID data automatically in the NFC memory.
