2-14 | OWNER’S GUIDE
please refer to the specications.
♦ Make sure that your hands, shoes, clothes, the oor, the sys-
tem or measuring leads, integrated curcuits and so on, are dry.
♦ DO NOT use the system in rooms with ammable gases,
fumes or dust or in adverse environmental conditions.
♦ Avoid operation in the immediate vicinity of high magnetic or
electromagnetic elds transmitting antennas or high-frequency
generators
♦ For exact values please refere to enclosed specications.
♦ Use measurement leads or measurement accessories aligned
to the specication of the system only. Fire hazard in case of
overload!
♦ Do not switch on the system after transporting it from a cold
into a warm room and vice versa. The thereby created con-
densation may damage your system. Acclimate the unpowered
system to room temperature.
♦ Do not disassemble the system! There is a high risk of getting
a perilous electric shock. Capacitors may still be charged, even
the system has been disconnected from the power supply.
♦ The electrical installations and equipments in industrial facilities
must be observed by the security regulations and insurance
institutions.
♦ The use of the measuring system in schools and other training
facilities must be observerd by skilled personnel.
♦ The measuring systems are not designed for use on human
beings or animals.
♦ Please contact a professional if you have doubts about the
method of operation, safety or the connection of the system.
♦ Please be careful with the product. Shocks, hits and dropping
it from even low levels may damage the batteries, or the whole
system. For exact values please refere to enclosed specica-
tions.
♦ Please also consider the detailed technical reference manual
as well as the security advices of the connected systems.
♦ This product has left the factory in safety-related proper condi-
tion. In order to maintain this condition and guarantee safety
use, the user must observe the security advice, protocols, and
warnings in this manual.
BIOS notication:
The system BIOS is protected by password. Any
change in the BIOS may cause a system crash.
When the system is booting, do not press ESC-but-
ton on keyboard. This may clear the BIOS settings
♦ The measurement category can be adjusted depending on
module conguration.
♦ Any direct voltage output is protected with a fuse against short
cut and reverse-polarity, but is not galvanically isolated (except
when explicitly marked on the system).
♦ The system must be connected and operated to a properly
grounded wall socket at the AC mains power supply only
(except for DC systems).
♦ Any other use than described above may damage your system
and is attended with dangers like shortcut, re or electric
shocks.
♦ The whole system must not be changed, rebuilt or opened
(except for changing DAQP, HSI, PAD, CPAD2, and EPAD2
modules).
♦ If you believe for any reason that the system cannot be used
without risk, the system must be rendered inoperative and
should be protected against inadvertant operation. You should
assume that riskless operation is not possible if the system is:
visibly damaged; emits unusual noises, smoke, or ames; if it
does not function anymore; if the system has been exposed to
long storage in adverse environmental conditions; if the system
has been exposed to heavy stresses.
♦ Do not touch any exposed connectors or components if they
are carrying voltage and/or current. The use of non-insulated
wires with the system is never allowed. There is a risk of short
circuit and re hazard.
♦ Warranty void if damages caused by disregarding this manual.
For consequential damages NO liability will be assumed!
♦ Warranty void if damages to property or persons caused by
improper use or disregarding the safety instructions.
♦ Unauthorized changing or rebuilding the system is prohibited
due to safety and permission reasons (CE). Exception: chang-
ing modules like DAQ, DAQP or PAD.
♦ The assembly of the system is equivalent to protection class I.
For power supply, only the correct power socket of the public
power supply must be used, except the system is DC powered.
♦ Be careful with voltages >25 VAC or >35 VDC! These voltages
are already high enough in order to get a dangerous electric
shock by touching the wiring.
♦ The system heats up during operation. Make sure there is
adequate ventilation. Ventilation slots must not covered!
♦ Only fuses of the specied type and nominal current may be
used. The use of patched fuses is prohibited.
♦ Prevent using metal bare wires! Risk of short cut and re
hazard!
♦ DO NOT use the system before, during or shortly after a
thunderstorm (risk of lightning and high energy overvoltage).
An advanced range of application under certain conditions
is allowed with therefore designed products only. For details
