Important notes
Notes/information about the "Ecodesign directive"
Regulation 1275/2008, based on the EU Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC), defines requirements
for the power consumption of electrical and electronic domestic and office devices in stand-by and
off mode. Generally, the PalmSecure device was developed for energy-efficient operation and low
stand-by losses. Customer-specific requirements and requirements of the operating system, which
are a priority for optimal operation, can contradict the requirements of the above-mentioned
regulation.
The PalmSecure device is delivered with a software development interface for integration into a
customer environment. Depending on application or customer integration of the PalmSecure device,
different classifications may apply according to the directive (EC) 1275/2008 (ErP Standby-VO) and
different procedures must therefore be implemented in the end customer software so that this
directive is complied with.
Possible classifications:
a) Stand-alone device (e.g. access control) - not a networked device
Using the On/Off switch, the PalmSecure device can be put into an off mode with a
maximum power consumption of 0.5 W. Because the device must be always available - so
that it can quickly react to customer requirements (authentication) - and other energy-using
products are dependent upon its function, implementation of an automatic consumption-
minimising function is not compatible with the intended use.
For more information, please see the section "Switching the device off"
b) Auxiliary device (connected with a main unit, e.g. PC ) - not a networked device
Using the On/Off switch, the PalmSecure device can be put into an off mode with a
maximum power consumption of 0.5 W. It can also be programmed so that it automatically
passes into this off mode if it receives an appropriate command from the main unit. It can
therefore be ensured that the PalmSecure being used as an auxiliary device also switches
off when the main unit is in off mode. In addition, please take note of the instructions in the
PalmSecure software development kit.
c) Networked device with HiNA function
Using the On/Off switch, the PalmSecure device can be put into an off mode with a
maximum power consumption of 0.5 W. Constant availability of the PalmSecure device in
mains operation mode is necessary to be able to react quickly to customer requirements
(authentication).
The PalmSecure device is configured so that standby service is automatically entered
directly (max. 5 min.) after a customer request is completed and thus the required power
consumption according to the ErP-VO is achieved. Information on power consumption can
be found in the section "Technical data". The PalmSecure device does not have any
wireless network ports.
