Installations and Industrial Equipment" (DGUV Regulation 3) This certification has the sole purpose of releasing imc from the obligation to have the electrical equipment tested prior to first use (§ 5 Sec. 1, 4 of DGUV Regulation 3). This does not affect guarantee and liability regulations of the civil code.
The measurement system has been carefully designed, assembled and routinely tested in accordance with the safety regulations specified in the included certificate of conformity and has left imc in perfect operating condition. To maintain this condition and to ensure continued danger-free operation, the user should pay particular attention to the remarks and warnings made in this chapter.
Mess-Systeme GmbH apply. 1.5 Guarantee Each device is subjected to a 24-hour "burn-in" before leaving imc. This procedure is capable of recognizing almost all cases of early failure. This does not, however, guarantee that a component will not fail after longer operation.
For questions by telephone please be prepared to provide your device's serial number and have your imc installation software, as well as this manual at hand, thanks! The serial number, necessary power supply, interface type and software version included can be determined from the plaque on the side of the device.
Improper handling may lead to serious damage to personnel and property. When in doubt, consult qualified personnel. · Work which may only be performed by trained imc personnel may not be performed by the user. Any exceptions are subject to prior consultation with the manufacturer and are conditional on having obtained corresponding training.
When transporting imc CRONOS-PL/-SL/compact, always use the original packaging or a appropriate packaging which protects the device against knocks and impacts. If transport damages occur, please be sure to contact the imc Customer Support. Damage arising from transporting is not covered in the manufacturer's guarantee.
Power reserves can be requested from imc, if desired. If modules are subsequently added to a system which has already been shipped, it is absolutely necessary to check whether enough reserve power is available! As a matter of principle, only trained service personnel should install new system modules! ·...
(< 60 W) or 24 V (< 150 W). On the input side the AC-voltage of the desktop supply is 100 V to 240 V 50/60 Hz. The DC-supply inputs of our imc measurement devices are not designed for a connection to a DC-grid.
CRONOS-PL, imc CRONOS-SL and imc CRONOScompact powered by an isolated DC-voltage source (e.g. battery) For running on an isolated DC power supply source (e.g. battery), either the grounding socket terminal, a grounding contact on the device ("CHASSIS"), or the CHASSIS contact on the imc signal connectors must...
This part of the conductor-coated plastic plug housing has electrical contact to the device's housing, just as Terminals 15 and 16 (labeled: "CHASSIS", to the left and right of the imc-plug cable bushing) do; but is preferable to the "CHASSIS" terminals for optimum shielding.
Activation of UPS buffering is indicated by the power control LED (PWR) changing from green to yellow. With many imc measurement devices, active UPS buffering is additionally indicated by an acoustic buzzer signal.
2.12.1 Li-ion batteries The Li-ion batteries (Smart Batteries) are accessible for exchange, with a keyed insertion mechanism, secured against reversed polarity. They are installed at the bottom of an imc CRONOScompact (CRC) device. imc CRONOScompact with two Li-ion battery packs imc CRONOScompact with two Li-ion battery packs The batteries are equipped on the bottom.
Removable storage 2.13 Removable storage For saving measured data, all imc devices support a removable storage medium. In case you are using a removable storage medium, please be aware that before you remove it (if the device is switched on), the button (1) must be pressed to ensure that storage medium can be safely removed.
Use of software requires a license, subject to the purchase order and configuration (see e.g. imc STUDIO manual product configuration / license). In order to be able to install or uninstall imc STUDIO products, you must be registered with a user account possessing administrator rights to the PC. This applies to the overwhelming majority of all installations of Windows.

Note: Connection via modem If the connection to the device is established via a modem, start the program imc DEVICES Interface Configuration by clicking on the button: Advanced Configuration. An exact description is found in the chapter: Setup - Connect the device > Special options for connecting to the device.
Start of operation Software / Firmware Step 4: Integrating a device into an experiment Now you are ready to add the device to the imc DEVICES experiment. If your device is unknown to the system, first perform the device search. Use the menu button Search...

Do not under any circumstances deactivate the device during the firmware update. If any error messages appear during the firmware update, do not switch the device off, but contact the imc Hotline. The firmware update may be continued with guidance from the Hotline. The dialog for the firmware-update looks like this: Start of the firmware update (example of a single device) The state of the components of the firmware is diaplayed in the list.

Other scenarios are feasible, e.g. if switches are activated, which can also respond to missing data traffic. If an error message is posted during the firmware update, leave the device on and contact the imc Hotline. It may be possible to continue the firmware-update under the guidance of the Hotline using a service program.
TEDS connectors are special, TEDS capable (according to IEEE1451.4 for the use with imc Plug & Measure) imc plugs for saving sensor information. The sensor-TEDS are serial PROMS which are connected with an amplifier channel via a digital signal line (One-wire-PROM). For a detailed description of the use of TEDS, see the imc STUDIO User's Manual.
