WARNING Install the 9250 instrumentation amplifier only on a grounded mounting rail in a grounded control cabinet. The 9250 instrumentation amplifier is intended to be fitted on a grounded DIN EN 60715 mounting rail in a grounded control cabinet. Installation Place the top edge of the fastening mechanism on the mounting rail.
6.1.1 Important information IMPORTANT: If you want to operate the 9250 instrumentation amplifier solely via the quick configuration facility then it will use a default sampling rate of 1200 measurements/s with digital filter disabled. Settings that you make via the USB port will be overwritten.
0 % of the analog output range (e.g. 0 V, 0 mA, 4 mA) will subsequently be output for this value. Press any other button to cancel the process. Once the teach-in has been performed, the 9250 instrumentation amplifier confirms the selection by making all the input LEDs flash.
