2.1. Safety Precautions
Read carefully the following safety precautions to assure correct use of the Armadillo-J.
！
This product uses semiconductor components designed for generic electronics
equipment such as office automation equipment, communications equipment,
measurement equipment and machine tools. Do not incorporate the product
into devices such as medical equipment, traffic control systems, combustion
control systems, safety equipment and so on which can directly threaten
human life or pose a hazard to the human body or property due to a
malfunction or failure. Moreover, products incorporating semiconductor
components can be caused to malfunction or fail due to a foreign noise or
surge. To avoid injury, death or loss of property in the case of malfunction or
failure, be sure to take all possible safety measures.
2.2. Operational Precautions
To avoid permanent damage to the Armadillo-J, the following operational precautions must be observed when
operating the product.
Power-on:
While the Armadillo-J or peripheral circuits are supplied with power, be sure not to connect or disconnect a
GPIO connector.
Static Electricity:
Armadillo-J incorporates CMOS devices. Until the product is used, store it safely in the provided antistatic
package.
Latch-up:
Due to excessive noise or surge from the power supply or I/Os, or rapid voltage fluctuations, the CMOS
devices incorporated in the product can cause a latch-up. Once latch-up occurs, this situation continues
until the power supply is disconnected. As a result, it can damage the device. It is recommended to take
safety measures such as adding a protection circuit into the noise-susceptible I/O lines or not sharing the
power supply with devices that can be the cause of noise.
