Safety precautions

The board must be used only by expert technicians. Due to the high voltage (220 Vac)

special care should be taken with regard to human safety.

There is no protection against accidental human contact with high voltages.

After disconnection of the board from the mains, none of the live parts should be touched

immediately because of the energized capacitors.

It is mandatory to use a mains insulation transformer to perform any tests on the board in

which test instruments such as spectrum analyzers or oscilloscopes are used.

Do not connect any oscilloscope probes to high-voltage sections in order to avoid damaging

instruments and demonstration tools.

Warning:

STMicroelectronics assumes no responsibility for any
