Furthermore, their durability varies with use environments or use conditions. In this respect, please check for actual equipment under actual use environments or use conditions before use without fail. Continued use in a state of degraded conditions may cause the deteriorated insulation, thus result in abnormal heat, smoke or firing. Please carry out safety designs and periodic maintenance such as redundancy designs, designs for fire spread prevention, and designs for malfunction prevention so that no accidents resulting in personal injury or death, fire accidents, or social damage will be caused as a result of failure of the Device or ending life of the Device. Before designing products, please first contact PID to ensure that the information on the Site is up to date and then design according to the latest catalog, product specifications, and other instructions.
