l
Keep all measurement cables well separated from cables connected to
high switching loads or motor cables.
l
Separate measurement equipment and cables from potentially interfering
equipment like frequency inverters or wireless equipment.
General cabling remark: Only use properly rated cables to measure the signal.
Both the voltage and current rating should be matched to the signal for
measurements.
WARNING
This instrument must be properly grounded.
When using this card, we advise using the standard GEN series protective
ground connections to ensure that the entire unit is grounded.
Please see section "Connecting power" on page 70 for further details.
If connection to a protective ground is not possible for any reason, then
please refer to the international safety standard EN 50191:2000
WARNING
Overvoltage and current protection
All signal inputs are protected against voltage overload. This is specified at
±
1000 V for all ranges except for the
±
1000 V range that is limited to
±
1250 V. Exceeding these limits, particularly when connected to potentially
high
-
current sources, can cause severe damage that is not covered by the
manufacturer's warranty.
WARNING
Disconnect voltages before removing the card from the system.
The measuring circuit can carry hazardous voltages and should be
disconnected before the card is removed from the card slot of the measurement
system.
