Equinox Warranty Infor mation

This product is guaranteed by Equinox Technologies UK Limited for a period of 12 months (1 year)

after the date of purchase against defects due to faulty workmanship or materials. One guarantee

covers both parts and labour. Service under the guarantee is only provided upon presentation of

reasonable evidence that the date of the claim is within the guarantee period (e.g. completed

registration/guarantee card or a purchase receipt).

The guarantee is not valid if the defect is due to accidental damage, misuse or neglect and in the

case of alterations or repair carried out by unauthorised persons. A number of exceptions to the

warranty are listed in the ‘Exceptions to warranty’ section below. Service (during and after guarantee

period) is available in all countries where the product is distributed by Equinox Technologies UK

Limited.

Exceptions to warranty

Over-voltage damage

This warranty does not cover damage to the programmer due to voltages beyond the specified

voltage limits being applied to the ‘DC Power Input’ (CON1) or any of the ISP Headers. The user must

ensure that sufficient care is taken to avoid over-voltage and static conditions on any of the ‘ISP

Header’ I/O pins.

Over-current damage

This warranty does not cover damage to the programmer due to excessive current being drawn from

the programmer power supply. The user must ensure that there is sufficient over-current protection

within the test fixture to protect against short circuit loads.

Short-circuit damage

This warranty does not cover damage to the programmer due to short-circuit loads being placed

across programmer I/O lines.

Damage to the Programmer Line Driver Circuitry

This warranty does not cover damage to the programmer ‘Line Driver Circuitry’ due to over-

voltage, over-current or short-circuit of any of the programmer I/O lines. It is the responsibility of

the user to make sure that sufficient precautions are taken before plugging the ISP Cable into a

Target System.

Warning!

Any damage caused to the programmer by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) through inadequate

earthing is not covered under the warranty of the product.

EPSILON5 MKII Programmer - User Guide V1.12 – 1st August 2007 v

Disclaimer

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that programming algorithms are correct at the time of

their release, it is always possible that programming problems may be encountered, especially when

new devices and their associated algorithms are initially released. It is Equinox’s Company Policy to

endeavour to rectify any programming issues as quickly as possible after a validated fault report is

received.

It is recommended that high-volume users always validate that a sample of a devices has been

programmed correctly, before programming a large batch. Equinox Technologies UK Ltd. can not be

held responsible for any third party claims which arise out of the use of this programmer including

‘consequential loss’ and ‘loss of profit’.

Equinox Technologies UK Ltd. cannot be held responsible for any programming problems which are

‘out of our control’. This type of problem is usually listed in the ‘Errata Sheet’ for the particular device

being programmed and is available from the silicon vendor.

Information contained in this manual is for guidance purposes only and is subject to change. E&OE.

EPSILON5 MKII Programmer - User Guide V1.12 – 1st August 2007

Elec troma gne tic Compatibilit y (EMC)

Complia nce

The ‘EPSILON5’ is a CE Approved Product. It is designed for use in an ESD controlled environment

i.e. development or production. This means, therefore, that the user must ensure that there is no

possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Since the devices and equipment to which

this product is likely to be connected may well themselves be susceptible to ESD, this should not

pose any difficulty.

For example, if you are handling microcontrollers and EEPROMS etc. then you will already be used to

appropriate precautions, such as the use of anti-static mats, wrist straps and so on. You should treat

your ‘EPSILON5’ with the same care as you would these types of devices. Always ensure that you

are not yourself carrying a static charge before handling the product. Wearing an earthed anti-static

wrist strap is recommended.

Equinox have taken great care in designing this product to be compliant with the European EMC

directive. When using the equipment be sure to follow the instructions provided. Although RF

emissions are within prescribed limits, care should be taken if you are using the product near to

sensitive apparatus. If you experience any difficulty please refer to Equinox Technical Support.

RoHS Complia nce

The ‘EPSILON5’ is a RoHS compliant product.

ESD Points to remember

•Work in a static-free environment.

•Wear an earthed wrist strap when handling either the programmer and/or

any programmable device.

•Ensure that the PC, programmer and Target system are connected to the

same EARTH (0V) potential.

•Do NOT plug the ISP cable of the programmer into a Target System when

the Target power is ON.

Warning!

Any damage caused to the programmer by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) through inadequate

earthing is not covered under the warranty of the product.
