General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions The MP55 module is a state of the art unit and as such is failsafe. The device may give rise to residual dangers if it is inappropriately installed and operated by untrained personnel.
Page 6
PME-MP55 Residual dangers The scope of supply and performance of the MP55 covers only a small area of measurement technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and operators should plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering considerations of measurement technology in such a way as to minimize resi...

PME-MP55 Conversions and modifications The MP55 module must not be modified from the design or safety engineering point of view except with our express agreement. Any modification shall exclude all liability on our part for any damage resulting therefrom. In particular, any repair or soldering work on motherboards is prohibited.
The MP55 module is set up and parameterized via a keyboard and dis play, or by using the PME Assistant. The PME Assistant provides a simple user interface under MS‐Windows for parameterizing the modules (in the...

For extension cables, use only a six‐wire configuration and use shielded, low‐capacitance measurement cables that are twisted in pairs, such as those from HBM. Attach the shield of the transducer cable to the connector housing in accordance with the HBM Greenline concept, to ensure EMC protection (see HBM Greenline Information, document i1577).
