Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
• Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2002 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC®MCUs and dsPIC®DSCs, KEELOQ®code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperipherals, nonvolatile memory and
analog products. In addition, Microchip’s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.

Safety Notice
The safety notices and operating instructions provided should be adhered to, to
avoid a safety hazard. If in any doubt, consult your supplier.
WARNING – This system must be earthed (grounded) at all times.
CAUTION – The system should not be installed, operated, serviced or modified
except by qualified personnel who understand the danger of electric shock
hazards and have read and understood the user instructions. Any service or
modification performed by the user is done at the user’s own risk and voids all
warranties.
WARNING – The output terminals are NOT isolated from the incoming AC mains
supply and may be at up to 410V with respect to ground, regardless of the input
mains supply voltage applied. These terminals are live during operation AND for
five minutes after disconnection from the supply. Do not attempt to access the
terminals or remove the cover during this time.
WARNING – The unit may obtain power through the output terminals if these are
connected to a rotating motor acting as a generator. If this is the case, then the
previous warning also applies (i.e., the output terminals are live when connected
to the generator and for five minutes after the generator has been stopped). Note
that this case can arise even when the unit has been disconnected from the
incoming AC mains supply.
CAUTION – If a motor is connected to the output of this unit, the frame should be
connected to the output protective ground terminal provided. Particular care
should be taken to mechanically guard such a motor, bearing in mind that
unexpected behavior is likely to result from the process of code development.
CAUTION – For continued protection against the risk of fire, replace the fuse with
one of the same type only (i.e., Fast Act Fuse 15A/250 V).

• The system is intended for evaluation and development purposes and
should only be operated in a normal laboratory environment as defined by
IEC 61010-1:2001.
• Clean with a dry cloth only.
• Operate flat on a bench, do not move during operation and do not block the
ventilation holes.
• The system should not be operated without all the supplied covers fully
secured in place.
• The system should not be connected or operated if there is any apparent
damage to the unit.
• The unit is designed to be connected to the AC mains supply via a standard
non-locking plug. As the unit has no mains switch, this plug constitutes the
means of disconnection from the supply and thus the user must have
unobstructed access to this plug during operation.
