Possible damage to the unit
Before you connect the unit and turn it on, you must ensure observance of
the following points in order to prevent damage to the unit:
●
The housing covers must be in place, and their screws must be fas-
tened.
●
The ventilation openings must be clear; it must be ensured that air can
freely exit at the back of the unit. The minimum distance to the wall
should, therefore, be at least 10 cm.
●
The unit must be dry.
●
The unit should only be operated in the horizontal position on an even
surface.
●
The ambient temperature must be within the range specified in the data
sheet.
●
It must be ensured that none of the voltage levels at the inputs exceed
permissible limits.
●
Explanation:
Measuring circuits as defined in section 6.7.4 of EN61010-1
Measuring category I is intended for measurements on circuits that are
not connected to the high-voltage current system.
●
It must be ensured that the unit outputs are not overloaded or incorrectly
connected.
When the unit is connected to the AC supply, it automatically adjusts to the
AC supply voltage (see the labeling for the voltage range). It is not neces-
sary to manually adjust the unit to a specific voltage or to change the fuses.
Danger of electric shock
The plug's ground terminal is connected directly to the frame of the unit. For
adequate protection against electrical hazard, this plug must be inserted
into a mating outlet containing a safety ground contact.
