All PLC evaluation module must passed Echelon Design Review;

96100 Preproduction Design Review

Pre-Production Design Review
Design review for a pre-production device, containing one or more select Echelon products, by Echelon’s
Application and/or Design Engineers. The review includes an analysis of the device’s schematic, parts list,
and printed circuit board (PCB) layout drawing in so far as these apply to the proper use of Echelon’s products.
If modifications are recommended, and after a final PCB is available, a re-review of the device will be conducted
to assess how corrective recommendations have been implemented. If the resubmitted device includes an Echelon
Power Line Transceiver or Power Line Smart Transceiver, and if the device is operational, Echelon at its discretion may
conduct a communication performance test of the device as part of the re-review.
To initiate a pre-production design review after submitting a purchase order for the service, a customer must submit
a completed design checklist from the pertinent Echelon User’s Guide, together with an electronic copy of the device
schematic (PDF file), parts list (PDF file listing the part reference, part value, tolerance, rating, manufacturer and other
specifications relevant to the specific component), and PCB plots (Gerber files). Submittals must be in English.
Customers will be notified if the submittal is missing any information- the design review will commence once the
submittal is complete. Design reviews typically take 3 to 4 weeks from the receipt of the submittal. All design reviews
are held in strictest confidence and are conducted at Echelon’s offices in California, USA.
A Pre-Production Design Review must be used within one (1) year of ordering or it will expire.
Design review services are based on Echelon’s preliminary review of the customer assembly under examination, and
are not intended to represent a thorough engineering analysis of the design. It is the responsibility of the customer to
thoroughly review the assembly using the latest revision of the pertinent user guides and manuals for all parts, including,
but not limited to, the Smart Transceiver. No claim is made regarding the suitability of the assembly under test with regard
to a particular application, regulatory compliance, or safety agency compliance. Echelon specifically reserves the right to
decline to provide design review and support services where such services would require disclosure of Echelon proprietary
information or where such support may be detrimental to Echelon’s business interests. Products deemed by Echelon to be
competitive products, are ineligible for design reviews. Echelon makes no warranty for such services, including but not limited
to, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Echelon does not guarantee that all problems
will be solved or that any response will be error-free.
ECHELON'S LIABILITY FOR SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEE PAID FOR THE SERVICES GIVING
RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL ECHELON BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, COST
OF COVER OR OTHER SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING
IN ANY WAY OUT OF SUCH SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY.
