■ Precautions for Use
(1) In this product, the PWB is fixed with a resin cover, and cleaning solvent may remain
inside the case; therefore,dip cleaning or ultrasonic cleaning are prohibited.
(2) Remove dust or stains, using anair blower or soft cloth moistened in cleaning solvent.
However, do not perform the above cleaning using a soft cloth with cleaning solvevt in the
marking portion.
In this case use only the following type of cleaning solvent used for wiping off:
Ethyl alcohol, Methyl alcohol, Isopropyl alcohol.
When the cleaning solvents except for specified materials are used, please consult us.
(3) In order to stabilize power supply line, connect a by-pass capacitor of more than 0.01µF
between Vcc and GND near the device.
(4) As for other general cautions, refer to the chapter “Precautions for Use .”
