1.3 Safety Precautions

The following messages informs how to make each connection. In most cases, you will simply need to connect a standard cable

Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not connect while the power is on. A sudden rush of power can damage sensitive electronic components. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the chassis.

Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static electric charge before touching ECU-150 Series. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag.

Note! If DC voltage is supplied by an external circuit, please put a protection device in the power supply input port.
