This evaluation board is ONLY for evaluation and internal research and development
purposes. Therefore, the evaluation board is not fault tolerant and is not designed or
manufactured with protective considerations, including but not limited to product safety
measures typically found in finished commercial goods.
DANGER: The PL360G55CF-EK board is powered from a DC power
source. But, when the board is connected to a mains grid for PLC communication, there is a
risk of PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR PHYSICAL DAMAGE. Therefore, caution must be exercised
when testing these devices. The user must be a skilled person in the practice and art of
high voltage circuitry to utilize the circuits in the board. It is highly recommended that
the user have qualifications or any certificate for handling AC power; COMMON SENSE IS
ENCOURAGED. The user agrees not to use the board in any situation where damage or injury to
persons, property or business could occur. Furthermore, the board is NOT FOR
RESALE/COMMERCIAL USE AND MUST BE STRICTLY OPERATED IN A WELL-CONTROLLED LABORATORY
ENVIRONMENT.
CAUTION: The entire board is not isolated from mains. To
avoid damage to instruments, do not connect any probe (i.e., debugger, oscilloscopes) to
the non-isolated area of the board when the board is connected to mains. The non-isolated
area is identified in the board with this symbol:
.
This evaluation board does not have any switch on the mains
connection to switch it on or off. So, for any hardware components and/or jumper
configuration changes, it is required to switch off the board and disconnect it from the
electrical network.
The board must not be subjected to high electrostatic potentials.
Temperature operating range must be from 0ºC to +85ºC. Running for extended periods at
minimum and maximum values may cause permanent damage to the board. Quartz crystal
components could not cover the previous temperature range with the desired performance due
to aging.
Tip: It is strongly recommended to use a grounding strap or
similar ESD protective device when handling the board in hostile ESD environments (offices
with synthetic carpet, for example). Avoid touching the component pins or any other
metallic element on the board.
Important: Microchip does not assume any responsibility for
the consequences arising from any improper use of this board.
