Appendix 8 Concerning Noise Countermeasures Running the measurement units on battery power/ Running a wireless logger on dry cells When the measurement unit is being powered by batteries Running a wireless logger on dry cells and the AC adapter is not connected, the ground current loop is eliminated, making it possible to reduce the effects of common mode noise.

Appendix 8 Concerning Noise Countermeasures 2nd. Blocking Noise from External Sources Keep signal lines away from noise sources Keep input signal lines (of the thermocouple) away from wiring that is a noise source (such as power lines, etc.), and make any permanent installation with as much separa- tion as possible;...

Appendix 8 Concerning Noise Countermeasures Insulation from noise sources (temperature measurement by thermocouple) The analog input channels are insulated from the chassis and each other. Therefore, the measurement unit allows you to attach the thermocouple directly to a con- ductor with a potential to measure it, provided that the voltage to ground does not exceed the maximum rating.

Appendix 12 Instrument/Unit Communications Interruptions and Reestablishment Synchronization and acquired data discrepancies The instrument, measurement units, and wireless loggers are synchronized as they com- municate during measurement. Consequently, since time will progress at each device's own level of precision in the event that communications with measurement units or wire- less loggers are interrupted during measurement, time differences will appear among the three devices.
