You have unique knowledge concerning Federal, State and local regulatory requirements (including but not limited to Food and DrugAdministration regulations, if applicable) which relate to your products and which relate to your use (and/or that of your employees,affiliates, contractors or designees) of the EVM for evaluation, testing and other purposes.2. You have full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety and compliance of your products with all such laws and other applicableregulatory requirements, and also to assure the safety of any activities to be conducted by you and/or your employees, affiliates,contractors or designees, using the EVM. Further, you are responsible to assure that any interfaces (electronic and/or mechanical)between the EVM and any human body are designed with suitable isolation and means to safely limit accessible leakage currents tominimize the risk of electrical shock hazard.3. You will employ reasonable safeguards to ensure that your use of the EVM will not result in any property damage, injury or death, evenif the EVM should fail to perform as described or expected.4. You will take care of proper disposal and recycling of the EVM’s electronic components and packing materials.Certain Instructions. It is important to operate this EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and environmental considerations per theuser guidelines. Exceeding the specified EVM ratings (including but not limited to input and output voltage, current, power, andenvironmental ranges) may cause property damage, personal injury or death. If there are questions concerning these ratings please contacta TI field representative prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied outside of thespecified output range may result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM and/orinterface electronics. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to theload specification, please contact a TI field representative. During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperaturesgreater than 60°C as long as the input and output are maintained at a normal ambient operating temperature. These components includebut are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors which can be identified using theEVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during normal operation, pleasebe aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch. As with all electronic evaluation tools, only qualified personnel knowledgeablein electronic measurement and diagnostics normally found in development environments should use these EVMs.Agreement to Defend, Indemnify and Hold Harmless. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold TI, its licensors and their representativesharmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, costs and liabilities (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or inconnection with any use of the EVM that is not in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This obligation shall apply whether Claimsarise under law of tort or contract or any other legal theory, and even if the EVM fails to perform as described or expected.Safety-Critical or Life-Critical Applications. If you intend to evaluate the components for possible use in safety critical applications (suchas life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, such as deviceswhich are classified as FDA Class III or similar classification, then you must specifically notify TI of such intent and enter into a separateAssurance and Indemnity Agreement.
General Texas Instruments High Voltage Evaluation Module (TI HV EVM) User Safety GuidelinesWARNINGAlways follow TI's set-up and application instructions, including use of all interface components within their recommended electrical ratedvoltage and power limits. Always use electrical safety precautions to help ensure your personal safety and the safety of those workingaround you. Contact TI's Product Information Center http://support.ti.com for further information.Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in personal injury, property damage, or death due to electrical shock andburn hazards.The term TI HV EVM refers to an electronic device typically provided as an open framed, unenclosed printed circuit board assembly. It isintended strictly for use in development laboratory environments, solely for qualified professional users having training, expertise andknowledge of electrical safety risks in development and application of high voltage electrical circuits. Any other use and/or application arestrictly prohibited by Texas Instruments. If you are not suitable qualified, you should immediately stop further use of the TI HV EVM.1. Work Area Safety:(a) Keep work area clean and orderly.(b) Qualified observer(s) must be present any time circuits are energized.(c) Effective barriers and signage must be present in the area where the TI HV EVM and its interface electronics are energized,indicating operation of accessible high voltages may be present, for the purpose of protecting inadvertent access.(d) All interface circuits, power supplies, evaluation modules, instruments, meters, scopes, and other related apparatus used in adevelopment environment exceeding 50Vrms/75VDC must be electrically located within a protected Emergency Power Off(EPO) protected power strip.(e) Use a stable and nonconductive work surface.(f) Use adequately insulated clamps and wires to attach measurement probes and instruments. No freehand testing wheneverpossible.2. Electrical Safety:As a precautionary measure, it is always a good engineering practice to assume that the entire EVM may have fully accessible andactive high voltages.(a) De-energize the TI HV EVM and all its inputs, outputs, and electrical loads before performing any electrical or other diagnosticmeasurements. Revalidate that TI HV EVM power has been safely de-energized.(b) With the EVM confirmed de-energized, proceed with required electrical circuit configurations, wiring, measurement equipmenthook-ups, and other application needs, while still assuming the EVM circuit and measuring instruments are electrically live.(c) Once EVM readiness is complete, energize the EVM as intended.WARNINGWhile the EVM is energized, never touch the EVM or its electricalcircuits as they could be at high voltages capable of causing electricalshock hazard.3. Personal Safety:(a) Wear personal protective equipment; for example, latex gloves or safety glasses with side shields or protect EVM in anadequate lucent plastic box with interlocks from accidental touch.Limitation for safe use: EVMs are not to be used as all or part of a production unit.
