(425) 453-3199 www.mstarlabs.com Data Acquisition Processor, DAP, and xDAP are trademarks of Microstar Laboratories, Inc. Microstar Laboratories requires express written approval from its President if any Microstar Laboratories products are to be used in or with systems, devices, or applications in which failure could endanger human life.
Special restrictions on use of individual models are given in the hardware manual for each xDAP product. xDAP products are not intended for any application for which its performance is critical to human life and safety. XDAP products cannot guarantee the availability necessary for critical applications such as direct control of nuclear reactors, and they do not provide electrical isolation suitable for general medical applications.
All xDAP products are variants of the xDAP008 or xDAP008i base product. These are chassis boxes containing variously- configured devices that constitute a complete xDAP product. The two base products are really the same thing except for physical dimensions. The size of the enclosure is indicated by an i suffix.
The xDAP products are rated for operation at 100 to 120 VAC at up to 6A, or for operation at 220 to 240 VAC at up to 3A. No settings or configuration adjustments are necessary to select one of the two power source levels. The products are rated for operation on 50Hz or on 60Hz power systems.
The air intake is through the bottom plate. The primary fan for drawing air and processor heat out of the unit is on the back of the xDAP unit. It is particularly important that these air flow paths are not obstructed.
5. Electrical Grounding The principal point of connection to the main grounding means for an xDAP is through the ground connection on the power receptacle, which uses IEC 60320 type C14 connectors. xDAP products follow the accepted practices for grounding computing equipment such as PCs.
Contact Microstar Laboratories at the address listed in the front of this manual. Over long periods of time, it is possible that the xDAP unit will start to exhibit small offset and gain errors in its measurement results.
Installations must provide 3-wire AC power with an earth ground common to the host computer system and the xDAP units, as discussed in Chapter 5 of this document, in order to meet the IEC61326 EMC requirements as set forth in the applicable EMC directives.
