Intended use
The SCM­HV (signal conditioner) is only used to mea­
sure the differential voltages within the ratings stated in
the Specifications, in conjunction with a suitable Quan­
tumX module.
The signal conditioner is designed for use in clean and
dry rooms, and cables must not be routed through out­
door areas either. It must not be operated where dust
levels or the moisture content of the air are particularly
high, where there is a risk of explosion, or in an aggres­
sive chemical environment.
See the specifications for the permissible ambient tem­
perature, as well as the permissible storage and trans­
portation temperatures. Should condensation have
formed during transportation, the SCM­HV must be accli­
matized for approx. 2 hours, before being put into opera­

The signal conditioner must only be operated on suitable
QuantumX modules (see specifications) — it is not ac­
ceptable to apply measuring voltage when the signal con­

tional.
Everyone involved with siting, starting up, or operating
the signal conditioner must have read and understood
