Safety
Watlow-Anafaze has made efforts to ensure the reliability and safety of
ANASOFT. Note that in any application failures can occur.
Good engineering practices, electrical codes, and insurance regulations
require that you use independent external safety devices to prevent
potentially dangerous or unsafe conditions. Assume that ANASOFT can
fail or that other unexpected conditions can occur.
For additional process safety, program a computer or other host device
to automatically reload your desired operating parameters after a power
failure. However, this safety feature does not eliminate the need for
other external, independent safety devices in dangerous conditions.
In the event of a controller reset, ANASOFT will reload the controller
with the current values in computer memory. The user must ensure that
this reset will be safe for the process. Use of ANASOFT does not
eliminate the need for appropriate external, independent safety devices.
Please contact Watlow-Anafaze immediately if you have questions
about system safety.
