9. Handling Notes
9.1 Cautions for attaching
• When you connect the header to the socket of this product, make sure you do not insert the header
in the reverse orientation. If you do, the IMU may be damaged permanently. In addition, if you
attach the product to the equipment, etc. using the IMU connection harness provided as a standard
accessory, connect the IMU connection harness to the product first, and then attach it to the
equipment, etc.
• When you attach the product to a housing, equipment, jig, or tool, make sure you attach it properly
so that no mechanical stress is added to create a distortion such as a warp or twist. In addition,
tighten the screws firmly but not too firmly because the mount of the product may break. Use screw
locking techniques as necessary.
• When you set up the product, make sure the equipment, jigs, tools, and workers maintain a good
ground in order not to generate high voltage leakage. If you add overcurrent or static electricity to
the product, the product may be damaged permanently.
• When you install the product, make sure metallic or other conductors do not enter the product.
Otherwise, malfunction or damage of the product may result.
• If excessive shock is added to the product when, for example, the product falls, the quality of the
product may be degraded. Make sure the product does not fall when you handle it.
• Before you start using the product, test it in the actual equipment under the actual operating
environment.
9.2 Other cautions
• If water enters the product, malfunction or damage of the product may result. If the product can be
exposed to water, the system must have a waterproof structure. We do not guarantee the operation
of the product when the product is exposed to condensation, dust, oil, corrosive gas (salt, acid,
alkaline, or the like) , or direct sunlight.
• This product is not designed to be radiation resistant.
• Never use this product if the operating condition is over the absolute maximum rating. If you do, the
characteristics of the product may never recover.
• If the product is exposed to excessive exogenous noise or the like, degradation of the precision,
malfunction, or damage of the product may result. The system needs to be designed so that the
noise itself is suppressed or the system is immune to the noise.
• Mechanical vibration or shock, continuous mechanical stress, rapid temperature change, or the like
may cause cracks or disconnections at the various connecting parts.
• Take sufficient safety measure for the equipment this product is built into.
• This product is not designed to be used in the equipment that demands extremely high reliability
and where its failure may threaten human life or property (for example, aerospace equipment,
submarine repeater, nuclear power control equipment, life support equipment, medical equipment,
transportation control equipment, etc.). Therefore, Seiko Epson Corporation will not be liable for
any damages caused by the use of the product for those applications.
• Do not add shock or vibration to the packing box. Do not spill water over the packing box. Do not
store or use the product in the environment where dew condensation occurs due to rapid
temperature change.
• Do not put mechanical stress on the product while it is stored.
• Do not store the product in a location subject to High Temperature, high humidity, under direct
sunlight, corrosive gas or dust.
• Do not alter or disassemble the product.
