# Safety precautions

warning

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

• Do not use the software for critical control or protection applications where human or equipment safety relies on the operation of the control action.

• Do not use the software to control time-critical functions because communication delays can occur between the time a control is initiated and when that action is applied.

• Do not use the software to control remote equipment without securing it with an authorized access level, and without including a status object to provide feedback about the status of the control operation.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

warning

Inaccurate Data results

• Do not incorrectly configure the software, as this can lead to incorrect reports and/or data results.

• Do not base your maintenance or service actions solely on messages and information displayed by the software.

• Do not rely solely on software messages and reports to determine if the system is functioning correctly or meeting all applicable standards and requirements.

• Consider the implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of communications links.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
