Precautions for design
• Do not implement a trigger in the software for emergency stop of hazardous operation. If
Xpanel is damaged while output signal remain ON or OFF, fatal accident may be caused.
Design an emergency stop switch outside of the product so it can be manually stopped.
• Do not use Xpanel for the purpose of generating an alarm for injury to operators,
breakdown of devices, or production halt.
• Design the system so that it can be hand-operated in case the product malfunctions.
• Do not use Xpanel as a control unit on applications requiring extreme stability such as
airplane control device, aerospace device, centralized data processing device, nuclear
control system, medical life support system, etc.
• In case Xpanel is used in transportations such as trains, vehicle, vessels, or warning
devices for disasters and crime, various safety devices, and medical devices excluding
life support system, you are required to design backup or failure provision system to
secure reliability and stability.
• Even if the screen is black, the unit could still be turned on with a dead LCD backlight.
When the operator touches a panel in this situation, the action could cause device’s
malfunction. Do not use this product for controlling safety devices such as emergency stop
switches.
