WARNING
ANAFAZE HAS MADE EFFORTS TO ENSURE THE RELIABILITY AND
SAFETY OF THE SYSTEM 32 AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR ITS SAFE USE IN SYSTEMS APPLICATIONS. PLEASE NOTE
THAT IN ANY APPLICATION, FAILURES CAN OCCUR THAT WILL
RESULT IN FULL CONTROL OUTPUTS OR OTHER OUTPUTS THAT
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE OR UNSAFE CONDITIONS IN THE
EQUIPMENT OR PROCESS CONNECTED TO THE ANAFAZE SYSTEM
32.
GOOD ENGINEERING PRACTICES, ELECTRICAL CODES, AND
INSURANCE REGULATIONS REQUIRE INDEPENDENT, EXTERNAL,
SAFETY DEVICES BE USED TO PREVENT POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS OR UNSAFE CONDITIONS ASSUMING THAT THE
SYSTEM 32 CAN FAIL WITH OUTPUTS FULL ON, OR OUTPUTS
FULL OFF, OR OTHER CONDITIONS THAT WOULD BE
UNEXPECTED.
THE SYSTEM 32 INCLUDES A RESET CIRCUIT THAT WILL SET THE
CONTROL OUTPUTS TO THE DATA STORED IN THE EEROM IF THE
MICROPROCESSOR RESETS -- NORMALLY THE RESULT OF A
POWER FAILURE AND POWER RETURN. THE COMPUTER OR
OTHER HOST DEVICE SHOULD BE PROGRAMMED TO
AUTOMATICALLY RELOAD THE DESIRED OPERATING
CONSTANTS, OR SAFE VALUES FOR THE PROCESS, UPON RETURN
OF SYSTEM POWER. THE COMPUTER CAN ALSO BE
PROGRAMMED TO CHECK PROCESS DATA AND CAUSE ALARMS
INCLUDING CONTACT OUTPUTS FOR AUTOMATIC SHUT DOWN
TO ASSIST IN PREVENTING DANGEROUS OR UNSAFE CONDITIONS.
ANAFAZE WILL BE PLEASED TO PROVIDE APPLICATION
ASSISTANCE AND PROGRAMMING IF DESIRED. IN ANY EVENT,
THESE SAFETY FEATURES DO NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED TO
PROVIDE EXTERNAL, INDEPENDENT SAFETY DEVICES IN
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS OR UNSAFE CONDITIONS.
ANAFAZE ALSO OFFERS AN OPTIONAL SOFTWARE PROGRAM
FOR IBM PC COMPATIBLE COMPUTERS THAT WILL RELOAD THE
SYSTEM 32 WITH THE CURRENT VALUES IN THE COMPUTER
MEMORY UPON A RESET. THE USER MUST INSURE THAT THIS
WILL BE SAFE FOR THE PROCESS. THIS FEATURE STILL DOES
NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR APPROPRIATE EXTERNAL,
INDEPENDENT SAFETY DEVICES.
PLEASE CONTACT ANAFAZE IMMEDIATELY IF THERE ARE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT SYSTEM SAFETY
