1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a TC-08 data acquisition module.
This guide explains how to install the software and product manual using the
supplied CD-ROM.
The product manual contains detailed information about using the product and its
software. It includes all the information you will need to connect and set up your
product. The product manual is installed in electronic format, but if you would prefer
a paper copy, you can print the PDF files on the CD-ROM.
2 General
safety
warning
Maximum input range
We strongly recommend that you read the general safety information below and
also the product-specific safety warning in the product manual before using your
product for the first time. If you do not use the equipment in the manner specified,
then you may impair the protection provided. This could result in damage to your
computer or injury to yourself or others.
The product manual is installed on your computer when you install the supplied
software.
You can find the maximum input range and, where applicable, overload protection
range in the product manual installed on your computer. Always operate the
product within the specified input range. Operation outside the range of the
overload protection is likely to cause permanent damage to the unit.
Mains voltages
TC-08 data acquisition modules are not designed for use with mains voltages. To
measure mains we recommend the use of a differential probe that is specifically
designed for such measurements.
