2.5 Connecting the LAN Cable
CAUTION
• When connecting the instrument to your LAN with a LAN cable laid outdoors, take appropriate
countermeasures that include installing a surge protector for LANs. Such signal wiring is
susceptible to induced lighting, which can cause damage to the instrument.
• To avoid equipment failure, do not disconnect the LAN cable while communications are in
progress.
• Use a common ground for both the instrument and the computer. Using different ground circuits
will result in a potential difference between the instrument's ground and the computer's ground. If
the LAN cable is connected while such a potential difference exists, it may result in equipment
malfunction or failure.
• Before connecting or disconnecting any measurement cable or LAN cable, always turn off the
instrument and the computer. Failure to do so could result in equipment malfunction or damage.
