General Texas Instruments High Voltage CC3200 Smart Plug User Safety Guidelines
WARNING
Always follow TI’s setup and application instructions, including
useofallinterfacecomponentswithintheirrecommended
electrical rated voltage and power limits. Always use electrical
safety precautions to help ensure your personal safety and those
working around you. Contact TI’s Product Information Center at
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 and burn hazards.
The enclosed CC3200 Smart Plug is intended strictly for customer demonstration purposes under the
direct control of authorized TI field sales personnel with knowledge of electrical safety risks. In order to
minimize risk of personal injury and property damage, at no time shall the CC3200 Smart Plug be
operated or otherwise demonstrated by anyone other than a TI authorized field sales representative. The
CC3200 Smart Plug should NEVER be left with a customer at any time for their own use or any other
evaluation purpose, nor operated in an unintended manner without the direct presence or participation of
the authorized TI field sales representative.
The customer should always be reminded that the final application design circuits are solely the
responsibility of the customer and at no time allow GERBER plots of the CC3200 Smart Plug printed
circuit board layout be provided to customers.
Any other use or application of the CC3200 Smart Plug is strictly prohibited by Texas Instruments.
When demonstrating the CC3200 Smart Plug the following practices and guidelines shall be followed:
1. Work Area Safety:
(a) Keep work area clean and orderly.
(b) Have qualified observers present anytime circuits are energized.
(c) Effective barriers and signage must be present in the area where the CC3200 Smart Plug and its
interface electronics are energized, indicating operation and/or presence of high voltages, for the
purpose of protecting inadvertent access.
(d) All interface circuits including but not limited to power supplies, evaluation modules, instruments,
meters, scopes, and other related apparatus used in a development or demonstration environment
exceeding 50 V
(EPO) protected power strip.
(e) Use stable and non-conductive work surface.
(f) Use adequately insulated clamps and wires to attach measurement probes and instruments. No
freehand testing whenever possible.
/75-V DC must be electrically located within a protected Emergency Power Off
The CC3200 Smart Plug is intended only for demonstration purposes and not to be used at all as part of a
production unit.
As a precautionary measure, it is always a good engineering practice to assume that the entire
CC3200 Smart Plug may have fully accessible and active high voltages.
(a) De-energize the CC3200 Smart Plug and all its interface outputs and electrical loads before
performing any electrical or other diagnostic measurements. Revalidate that the CC3200 Smart
Plug power has been safely de-energized.
(b) With the CC3200 Smart Plug confirmed de-energized, proceed with required electrical circuit
configurations or other CC3200 Smart Plug interface hook-ups, while still assuming the load circuit
connected to the CC3200 Smart Plug and accompanying measuring instruments are electrically
live.
(c) Once the CC3200 Smart Plug readiness is complete, proceed with energization as intended.
WARNING
While the CC3200 Smart Plug is energized, never touch any of its
electrical circuits or controlled interface loads as they could be at
high voltages capable of causing electrical shock hazard.
(a) Wear personal protective equipment such as latex gloves or safety glasses with side shields, or
protect the EVM in an adequate lucent plastic box with interlocks from accidental touch.
There is an increasing application requirement for Wi-Fi-enabled energy measurement and control. This
increase is manifested in end products like smart plugs, smart receptacles, and in general application
spaces such as home appliance, smart grid, and building automation. The goal was to offer a form-factor
reference design and application software that could very quickly be turned into a production Smart Plug.
The deliverables would also address application requirements in connected energy measurement and any
cloud-connected device. Updated information will be posted on the C3200 Smart Plug product page.
2Requirements
Hardware:
•CC3200 Smart Plug
•Android™ device with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean, API level 16) or above
The Smart Plug Android application is a user-friendly tool to interface with the CC3200 Smart Plug. All
features mentioned in the introduction can be accessed in this application. The source code of this
application is also available for download in the product’s wiki page:
Exosite is the cloud service to be used with the CC3200 Smart Plug. The service provides not only the
storage for metrology data or an alternative platform to monitor the Smart Plug, but also a communication
bridge between the Smart Plug and the Android application. When a mobile device is not in the same local
network as the Smart Plug, the user can still access all the readings and most controlling features
because the cloud service is doing all the work, making it almost seamless.
