* The electronic assemblies manufactured by Synapticon are suitable for transportation at ambient pressures of up to 700 hPa (corresponding to approximately 3000 m / 9842.52 ft above sea level), provided that no additional external stresses such as severe temperature changes or mechanical shocks occur. Transportation should be carried out in suitable packaging. Pressure sensitive components or hermetically sealed housings must be tested or specified separately.

After transportation under conditions with strongly fluctuating temperatures or humidity, an acclimatization period of at least 24 hours at room temperature must be provided before commissioning. This ensures that any condensation that may have formed evaporates completely. Premature switch-on can lead to damage to the module.

[1] The Hardware is protected against overtemperature above 114 °C. Since the software has its own temperature protection object which is set to 100 °C by default, this hardware protection will not be triggered.

[2] Fast ABI is supported from firmware 5.0 on
