14、needed to initiate operation of the blender (after Step 1);c) A time-out function on the first step of no longer than 30 seconds; andd) Instructions as specified in 73.2.2.28.4.17 With respect to 28.4.16, after the operation of the blender is manually stopped, or afterautomatically stopping at the c
15、ompletion of a programmed sequence, the blender shall return to acondition requiring a two-step function to initiate operation.28.4.18 With respect to 28.4.17, for a blender with a momentary contact pulse operation, Step 1 mayremain active as long as the duration between the Pulse operations is no m

Avoid any contact with blades or moveableparts.RATIONALE FOR DECISION:A capacitive touch scre
22、en requires no force to activate, so unintentional (accidental) operation of theblender is a concern due to the risk of injury presented by the blender blades and, possibly, the drivecoupler. The 40 mm diameter probe is based on international requirements for unintentional operation ofcertain househ
23、old kitchen machines. The two-step ON function and 30 second timeout is based onexisting US appliance standards.In addition, the use of the touch screen introduces the use of breakable materials that may be acting apart of the enclosure. This surface shall be evaluated for mechanical strength by con
24、ducting the BallImpact Test. It is likely that a user will continue to use an appliance with a broken touch screen as longas the blender is still functional. Therefore, the Overflow Test is to be repeated if the Impact Test resultsin cracking or breaking of the touch screen surface.The capacitive to
25、uch screen user interface technology is more susceptible to electromagnetic interferencethan electromechanical switches or other electronic user interfaces. Therefore, the Electrostatic DischargeTest and Radiated Fields Test are conduct along with the component fault testing to evaluate the reliabil
26、ityof the two-step ON function.Copyright 2015 Underwriters Laboratories Inc.UL, in performing its functions in accordance with its objectives, does not guarantee or warrant thecorrectness of Certification Requirement Decisions it may issue or that they will be recognized or adoptedby anyone.
