RE3 Product Summary

Page | 7

Introduction

The Blue Chip Technology RE3 (BCT-RE3) is the next step in the highly successful RE range of all in one

compact computers.

The BCT-RE3 has multiple CPU options, 1GHz Dual Core and 1GHz Quad Core. Both options are available as

extended temperature product. All RE3s are supplied with 1GB of DDR3 Memory and 1GB of NAND Flash.

Further, additional NAND Flash can be added through an optional μSD Card.

The BCT-RE3 can operate from 7V DC input through to 36V DC input. Power requirements will vary

depending on any LCD panel and other peripherals attached to the RE3.

For example with the Dual 1GHz BCT-RE3 with the U.R.T. UMSH-8173MD-1T 5.7” Combined LCD and

Touch Screen, the operational power requirements will vary between 5.6W for Linux Linaro, at the desktop, up

to 13.5W with applications running CPU, GPU and VDU heavily. Attaching peripherals such as USB will

increase this further.

On its own, the RE3 operates at approximately 3.5/3.6W Dual/Quad CPU without power saving and without

applications running.

The BCT-RE3 has the capability to support a Lithium Battery via connector P14 to retain time and date when

the unit is powered off. Please refer to RTC Battery section for options on using this feature

RE3 Precautions

Page | 10

General Precautions

Your Single Board Computer is susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharges. In order to avoid damage,

you should work at an anti-static bench and observe normal anti-static precautions. Wear an anti-static wrist

strap connected to an earth point before opening any packaging.

Where a wrist strap is not available, discharge any static charge you may have built-up by touching an earth

point. Avoid any further movement that could build up another static charge. Touch an earth point from time to

time to avoid further build-up, and remove the items from their anti-static bags only when required

Electro-Static Discharges

It is important to realise that the components on the RE3 can be damaged by static electricity. Bear in mind that

the damage caused by static electricity may vary from total destruction to partial damage, which may not be

immediately obvious. This could have an effect on the product’s reliability and warranty. Before handling the

RE3, ensure that you take necessary static precautions. Ideally you should work at an anti-static bench and wear

an approved wrist strap or if that is not possible, touch a suitable ground to discharge any static build up before

touching the electronics. This should be repeated if the handling continues for any length of time.

If it is necessary to move the RE3 around, place it into an anti-static bag. This will prevent any static electricity

build up damaging the board. Metallised bags are preferred. Do not use black anti-static bags for any item

containing a battery because these tend to be conductive and will discharge the battery.

On-Board Battery

The processor board can be fitted with a Lithium battery. Great care should be taken with this type of battery. If

the battery is mistreated in any way there is a very real possibility of fire, explosion, and personal harm. Under

NO circumstances should it be short-circuited, exposed to temperatures in excess of 100°C or burnt, immersed

in water, recharged or disassembled.

Expired batteries remain hazardous and must be disposed of in a safe manner, according to local regulations.

Le panneau de processeur est équipé d’une batterie de lithium. Le grand soin devrait être pris avec ce type de

batterie. Si la batterie est mistreated il y a de dans de toute façon un possibility très vrai du feu, d’expolosion et

de mal personnel. Dans au cunes circonstances il est sous peu circuité, exposé aux températures au dessus de

100 degrés de centrigrade ou brûlé, immergé dans l’eau, rechargée ou dissassambled.

Les batteries expirées restent dazaedous et doivent être reejetées d’une façon sûre, selon des règlements locaux.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

This product has been assessed operating in representative, standard configurations. As with any PC product,

however, final installation & configuration can vary significantly, and so the following guidelines are offered to

help ensure that compatibility is maintained.

All components added to a system should either carry appropriate equivalent levels of compliance, or

be tested for compliance as part of the final system, and should be installed in accordance with supplier

recommendations.

The external enclosure should be securely fastened (with standard lids and covers in place) to ensure

good metal-to-metal contact around the internal electronics
