Test Conditions
The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the FD-11601 meets
published specifications:
•
Keep connections to the device as short as possible. Long cables and wires act as
antennas, picking up extra noise that can affect measurements.
•
Verify that all connections to the device are secure.
•
Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the device. Use twisted-pairs wire
to eliminate noise and thermal offsets.
•
Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 ±5 °C. The device temperature will be greater
than the ambient temperature.
•
Keep relative humidity below 80%.
•
Allow a warm-up time of at least 10 minutes to ensure that the FieldDAQ device
measurement circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.
