Installing the Module into the Measuring Station

Preparing to Install the Module

Upon purchasing the measuring station, each slot is covered with a cover plate as shown

in the figure below.  Verify that the power supply is not connected to the measuring

station, then loosen the module attachment screws (2 locations) and remove the cover

plate from the slot where the module is going to be installed.  Please note that the slot on

the left end is dedicated to the communication interface module and this module cannot

be installed there.

* The following figure shows an example of the measuring station WE400.

WARNING

• Make sure to fasten the top and bottom attachment screws. If you connect the

input signal cable without fastening the attachment screws, the protective

grounding  of the measuring station provided by the power cord is compromised

and may cause electric shock.

CAUTION

• To avoid damaging the instrument when installing modules, make sure to turn

OFF the standby power switch of the measuring station.

• Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the ejection lever while inserting the

module.  In addition, do not put your hand inside the slot, because there are

protrusions along the module guide.  You may injure your fingers from them.

• Do not remove the cover plates from unused slots. It can cause overheating and

cause malfunction.  Cover plates are also needed to minimize the influence

caused by electromagnetic interference.

Insert the module along the guide rail of the slot from which you removed the cover plate.

Insert the module until it clicks into the connector.  Be careful not to get your fingers

caught in the ejection lever while inserting the module. When the module is securely

inserted, fasten the module attachment screws (tightening torque: 0.6 to 0.7 N-m).

To remove the module, loosen the module attachment screws, and pull the ejection lever

from the inside to the outside.  This will force the module out of the slot.
