Viglen, EMC and the ‘CE’ mark

CE Marking

European standards are being harmonised across borders. If products comply with the same standards in all

European countries, product exporting and importing is made simple - paving our way to a common market. If

you buy a product with a 'CE' mark on it (shown below), on the box, in the manual, or on the guarantee - it

complies with the currently enforced directive(s).

Introduction to EMC

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) is the term used to describe certain issues with RF (Radio Frequency)

energy. Electrical items should be designed so they do not interfere with each other through RF emissions. E.g.

If you turn on your microwave, your television shouldn't display interference if both items are CE marked to the

EMC directive.

If emitted RF energy is not kept low, it can interfere with other electrical circuitry - E.g. Cars Automatic Braking

Systems have been known to activate by themselves while in a strong RF field. As this has obvious

repercussions ALL electrical products likely to cause RF related problems have to be 'CE' marked from 1st

January 1996 onwards.

If a product conforms to the EMC directive, not only should its RF emissions be very low, but its immunity to RF

energy (and other types) should be high. The apparatus has to resist many 'real world' phenomena such as

static shocks and mains voltage transients.

Viglen’s Environment laboratory

To gain a 'CE' mark, the Viglen computer range has had to undergo many difficult tests to ensure it is

Electromagnetically Compatible. These are carried out in the in-house 'Environment lab' at Viglen Headquarters.

We have made every effort to guarantee that each computer leaving our factory complies fully with the correct

standards. To ensure the computer system maintains compliance throughout its functional life, it is essential you

follow these guidelines.

? Install the system according to Viglen’s instructions

? If you open up your Viglen:

? Keep internal cabling in place as supplied.

? Ensure the lid is tightly secured afterwards

? Do not remove drive bay shields unless installing a 'CE' marked peripheral in its place

? The clips or ‘bumps' around the lips of the case increase conductivity - do not remove or damage.

? Do not remove the ferrite ring from the L.E.D cables.

? Only use your Viglen computer with 'CE' marked peripherals

This system has been tested in accordance with European standards for use in residential and light industrial

areas-this specifies a 10 meter testing radius for emissions and immunity. If you do experience any adverse

affects which you think might be related to your computer, try moving it at least 10 meters away from the affected

item. If you still experience problems, contact Viglen’s Technical Support department who will put you straight

through to an EMC engineer - s/he will do everything possible to help. If modifications are made to your Viglen

computer system, it might breach EMC regulations. Viglen take no responsibility (with regards to EMC

characteristics) of equipment which has been tampered with or modified.

This symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that the product shall not be treated as

household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for recycling of

electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help

prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could

Make sure you are earthed and free of static charge before you open the computer

case. If you are unsure about upgrading your computer, return it to Viglen so a

qualified engineer can perform the upgrade.

STEPS TO TAKE TO PREVENT STATIC DISCHARGE:

1. The best way to prevent static discharge is to buy an anti-static strap from your

local electrical shop. While you are wearing the strap and it is earthed, static

charge will be harmlessly bled to ground.

2. Do not remove the component from its anti-static protective packaging until you

are about to install it.

3. Hold boards by the edges - try not to touch components / interface strips etc.

Note: We recommend that you return your computer to the service department for

upgrading. Any work carried out is fully guaranteed. Upgrades should only be carried

out by persons who are familiar with handling IC's, as incorrect installation will

invalidate the guarantee.

CAUTION!
