Safety Precautions

These specifications are intended to preserve the quality assurance of products as individual
components.
Before use, check, and evaluate the module's operation when mounted on your products. Abide by
these specifications when using the products. These products may short-circuit. If electrical shocks,
smoke, fire, and/or accidents involving human life are anticipated when a short circuit occurs, then
provide the following fail-safe functions as a minimum:
1. Ensure the safety of the whole system by installing a protection circuit and a protection device.
2. Ensure the safety of the whole system by installing a redundant circuit or another system to
prevent a single fault causing an unsafe status.

Design Engineering Notes

1. Heat is the major cause of shortening the life of the modules. Avoid assembly and use of the target
equipment in conditions where the product's temperature may exceed the maximum allowable.
2. Failure to do so may result in the degrading of the product's functions and damage to the product.
3. If pulses or other transient loads (a large load applied in a short time) are applied to the products,
before use, check and evaluate their operation when assembled onto your products.
4. These products are not intended for other uses, other than under the special conditions shown
below. Before using these products under such special conditions, check their performance and
reliability under the said special conditions carefully, to determine whether or not they can be used
in such a manner.
5. In liquid, such as water, saltwater, oil, alkali, or organic solvent, or in places where liquid may splash.
Indirect sunlight, outdoors, or in a dusty environment. In an environment where condensation
occurs. In an environment with a high concentration of harmful gas (ex. salty air, HCl, Cl2, SO2, H2S,
NH3, and NOx).
6. If an abnormal voltage is applied due to a problem occurring in other components or circuits,
replace these products with new products because they may not be able to provide normal
performance even if their electronic characteristics and appearances appear satisfactory.
7. Mechanical stress during assembly of the board and operation must be avoided.
8. Pressing on parts of the metal cover or fastening objects to the metal cover is not permitted.
