4. Precautions against long-term use
Use of Azbil Corporation's products, including switches, which contain electronic components, over a prolonged
period may degrade insulation or increase contact-resistance and may result in heat generation or any other
similar problem causing such product or switch to develop safety hazards such as smoking, ignition, and
electrification.
Although acceleration of the above situation varies depending on the conditions or environment of use of the
products, you are required not to use any Azbil Corporation's products for a period exceeding ten (10) years
unless otherwise stated in specifications or instruction manuals.
5. Recommendation for renewal
Mechanical components, such as relays and switches, used for Azbil Corporation's products will reach the end of
their life due to wear by repetitious open/close operations.
In addition, electronic components such as electrolytic capacitors will reach the end of their life due to aged
deterioration based on the conditions or environment in which such electronic components are used.
Although acceleration of the above situation varies depending on the conditions or environment of use, the
number of open/close operations of relays, etc.
as prescribed in specifications or instruction manuals, or depending on the design margin of your machine or
equipment, you are required to renew any Azbil Corporation's products every 5 to 10 years unless otherwise
specified in specifications or instruction manuals.
Field instruments (sensors such as pressure/flow/level sensors, regulating valves, etc.) will reach the end of their
life due to aged deterioration of parts.
For those parts that will reach the end of their life due to aged deterioration, recommended replacement cycles are
prescribed. You are required to replace parts based on such recommended replacement cycles.
6. Other precautions
Prior to your use of Azbil Corporation's products, you are required to understand and comply with specifications
(e.g., conditions and environment of use), precautions, warnings/cautions/notices as set forth in the technical
documents prepared for individual Azbil Corporation's products, such as catalogs, specifications, and instruction
manuals to ensure the quality, reliability, and safety of those products.
7. Changes to specifications
Please note that the descriptions contained in any documents provided by

are subject to change
without notice for improvement or for any other reason.

8. Discontinuance of the supply of products/parts
Please note that the production of any Azbil Corporation's products may be discontinued without notice.
For repairable products, we will, in principle, undertake repairs for five (5) years after the discontinuance of those
products. In some cases, however, we cannot undertake such repairs for reasons, such as the absence of repair
parts.
For field instruments, we may not be able to undertake parts replacement for similar reasons.
