Inductive interference
Using the EDX-10B, near equipment generating strong magnetic field, generates induction noise.
The equipment includes large motors, transformer, and ferro-resonant constant voltage transformer.
Locating the EDX-10B, far away from measuring points, also generates induction noise.
Take the following measures to protect against induction noise.
Separately locate the EDX-10B from the power source.
Use a shielded cable for sensor connection. Connect the shield to the E terminal of the [INPUT] connector.
Potential interference
Potential interference occurs when the target to be measured has a DC/AC potential.
At this time, grounding the EDX-10B is not necessarily a good thing.
It may be appropriate to connect the target to be measured and EDX-10B.
If there is induction noise or if the target to be measured has potential, it is rare to be solved by a simple method.
Especially nowadays, the number of electrical devices that are used together in the measuring environment are
increasing resulting to affect with each other as the noise cause.
The above mentioned countermeasures are mere examples.
Fully consider the operational environment and take appropriate measured to obtain the most preferable results.
5. TROUBLE SHOOTING
When the EDX-10B does not operate as expected or when it operates unstably, trace the cause before concluding a
defect of EDX-10B.
Items to be checked and countermeasure against various phenomena are described in the following table.
If troubles are not solved despite countermeasures, contact KYOWA or our representative.
If the EDX-10B is damaged due to disassembling or remodeling by the user, KYOWA may refuse the repair.

When using the optional AC adapter, check the voltage range of the AC power outlet before
connecting. For details, see 3-4.CONNECT THE OPTIONAL AC ADAPTER
Voltage range of the optional AC adapter exceeds 4.5 to 5.5 V.
Replace the optional AC adapter with a new one.
When overcurrent flows through the USB cable.
Check the measuring unit connection and reconnect USB cable.
Voltage range of the optional USB bus power exceeds 4.5 to 5.5 V.
1)
The power supply voltage dropped and the EDX-10B might not work properly,
because of a smaller-diameter USB cable or too long USB cable.
When the USB cable length is more than 3m, EDX-10B can not be measured.
Use the standard accessory USB cable.
2)
The power supply voltage exceeded the specified range, because of the USB port
error of the PC.
Replace the PC with a new one.
An error occurs in the EDX-10B or in measuring units.
Contact KYOWA or our representative.

Did you install the USB device driver?
→ For details, see 3-5.INSTALLING THE USB DEVICE DRIVER.
The USB cable is failure (wire breakage or connector breakage).
→ Replace the USB cable with a new one.
If the LED does not light up in green despite countermeasures, contact KYOWA or our
representative.
