Potential separation
8.4 Potential separation
When organizing a properly functioning measuring setup it is very important to
ensure that no equalizing current flow between sensors, power supply, and pe-
ripherals. All points must therefore lie at the same potential and / or any un-
equal potentials that do exist must be electrically isolated.
The analog inputs are electrically isolated by means of photovoltaic relays; the
maximum potential difference permitted between them is 50 VDC or 60 VAC.
The power supply is isolated by the transformer in the mains adapter or by a
DC/DC converter in connecting cable ZA2690-UK.
