2.1 Precautions for operation

Certain ground rules for operating the system, aside from reasonable safety measures, must be observed
to prevent danger to the user, third parties, the device itself and the measurement object. These are the
use of the system in conformity to its design, and the refraining from altering the system, since possible
later users may not be properly informed and may ill-advisedly rely on the precision and safety promised
by the manufacturer.
If you determine that the device cannot be operated in a non-dangerous manner, then the device is to
be immediately taken out of operation and protected from unintentional use. Taking this action is
justified under any of the following conditions:
I. the device is visibly damaged,
II. loose parts can be heard within the device,
III. the device does not work
IV. the device has been stored for a long period of time under unfavorable conditions (e.g. outdoors
or in high-humidity environments).
1. Observe the data in the chapter "Technical Specifications", to prevent damage to the unit through
inappropriate signal connection.
2. Note when designing your experiments that all input and output leads must be provided with
shielding which is connected to the protection ground ("CHASSIS") at one end in order to ensure
high resistance to interference and noisy transmission.
3. Unused, open channels (having no defined signal) should not be configured with sensitive input
ranges since otherwise the measurement data could be affected. Configure unused channels with
a broad input range or short them out. The same applies to channels not configured as active.
4. If you are using a storage media in order to save measured data, read the instructions in the
chapter: "removable storage medium".
5. Avoid prolonged exposure of the device to sunlight.
