Connecting Devices - General
NOTICE
- Instrument damage!
If current-carrying connections are broken during operation, voltage peaks may be produced;
these could destroy electrical assemblies.
Do NOT pull out any plugs from electronic devices such as the PC, Control Unit, etc. while a test is
running or when the devices are powered ON.
NOTICE
- Instrument failure!
If the devices are not connected properly, incorrect functions could occur when the system is
started.
•
Lay the cables so that they cannot be mixed up and cannot trip people up.
•
For error-free operation, all cable connections should be properly secured - either by screwing
the actual connector or the fixing screws, as otherwise measuring errors could occur or data
transmission could be interrupted.
•
Before carrying out a new test, system devices must be freed from all residues of the previous
test.
•
Place the animal cages on a stable support that ensures vibration-free operation, as otherwise
the sensitive sensor measuring technique could be interfered with. Do not place the cages on
the same support surface as the Control Units as these vibrate slightly.
