The device is an electrical apparatus. It may only be used for the following applications: Measurement data acquisition and analysis Applications of the software products (such as ibaPDA) and hardware products of iba AG. The device is only to be used as shown in chapter 'Technical Data.' Special safety instructions Be sure to follow the safety instructions of each module in the relevant manuals.
Optional External input devices for operation: monitor, keyboard and mouse ibaNet fiber optic patch cable (duplex) for connecting additional iba devices With the ibaCMU-S central unit, the data is also stored on the device. However, the ibaCMC condition monitoring center, which is connected via the network, is required for configuration and visualization.
