Caution

This product has been designed for educational applications. It was not designed for any use involving serious risks or hazards that could lead to death, injury, serious physical damage, or loss of any kind without the implementation of exceptionally stringent safety precautions.

Before the operation๏ƒ

Before working with the ElectroLab, make sure to meet all of the following criteria:

  • The ElectroLab is placed in a stable non-conductive surface.

  • There are no objects or debris stuck in between the male pins of the surface of the board.

  • Do not manipulate the board if you have wet hands or in such conditions that could lead to a short-circuit.

  • Do not manipulate the board if you feel that you are electrostatically charged.

  • Some components have polarity, meaning that they need a specific way of being connected.Please pay attention to the (โš ๏ธ) indications in this document related to those components.

Protection against ESD๏ƒ

The ElectroLab contains components sensitive to ESD, which can be damaged by inappropriate handling. Itโ€™s therefore necessary to provide some safety precautions against ESD during the handling and operation.

Usage, transport and storage๏ƒ

During the use, transport and storage, this product must be protected from any mechanical stress (forces applied over the board or itโ€™s components), temperatures out of the data-sheetโ€™s range, high environmental humidity or aggressive atmospheres.

Avoid using it in areas where it cannot be assured the previously mentioned environmental conditions.

Repairs๏ƒ

If any of the components on the board gets damaged, a reparation is possible. This repair can be performed by yourself if you identify the problem and have the means for desoldering & soldering. If this is not the case, just write to the Technical support mail to reach a solution.

Disposal๏ƒ
