With this product, only use the power cable delivered or defined for the host country. DO NOT connect or disconnect sensors, probes or test leads, as these parts are connected to a voltage supply unit. The system is grounded via a protective conductor in the power supply cord. To avoid electric shocks, the protective conductor has to be connected with the ground of the power network. Before connecting the input or output connectors of the system, make sure that there is a proper grounding to guarantee potential free usage. For countries, in which there is no proper grounding, please refere to your local legally safety regulations for safety use. DC systems: Every DC system has a grounding connected to the chassis (yellow/green safety banana plug). Please note the characteristics and indicators on the system to avoid fire or electric shocks. Before connecting the system, please carefully read the corresponding specifications in the product manual. The inputs are not, unless otherwise noted (CATx identification), for connecting to the main circuit of category II, III and IV. The power cord separates the system from the power supply. Do not block the power cord, since it has to be accessible for the users. DO NOT use the system if equipment covers or shields are removed. If you assume the system is damaged, get it examined by authorised personnel only. Any use in wet rooms, outdoors or in adverse environmental condition is not allowed! Adverse environmental conditions are: Moisture or high humidity Dust, flammable gases, fumes or dissolver Thunderstorm or thunderstorm conditions (except assembly PNA) Electrostatic fields, et cetera. The measurement category can be adjusted depending on module configuration. Any direct voltage output is protected with a fuse against short cut and reverse-polarity, but is NOT galvanically isolated (except it is explicit marked on the system). The system must be connected and operated to an earthed wall socket at the AC mains power supply only (except for DC systems). Any other use than described above may damage your system and is attended with dangers like shortcut, fire or electric shocks. The whole system must not be changed, rebuilt or opened (except for changing DAQ, DAQP, PAD modules). 10 Safety instructions If you assume a more riskless use is not provided anymore, the system has to be rendered inoperative and should be protected against inadvertent operation.
