APOLLO 1U ICE

Introduction

Using the enclosure safely

Internal battery

The APOLLO SBC is fitted with a 3V Lithium battery that is used to maintain the

APOLLO’s real time clock and static RAM while the main supply is removed. The

battery is fitted in a socket to allow easy replacement. The battery has a service life of

5 years at +25°C (77°F).

Anti-static handling

The APOLLO and other circuit boards fitted inside the APOLLO 1U ICE contain CMOS

devices. These could be damaged in the event of static electricity being discharged

through them. At all times, please observe anti-static precautions when handling circuit

boards. This includes storing boards in appropriate anti-static packaging and wearing a

suitably earthed wrist strap when handling.

Packaging

If the system is returned to Eurotech Ltd, it should be adequately packed, preferably in

the original packing material. Damage caused in transit may invalidate any warranty

claim.

Safe battery use

Lithium batteries that are found to be damaged, leaking, corroded or flat

(low or no voltage) must be disposed of in a safe manner following the

conductive container. They must be periodically disposed of by a recognized

company specializing in the disposal of poisonous waste, who comply with

‘The Disposal of Poisonous Waste Regulations Act.’

Dispose of batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not attempt to recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F), or
