Handling Precautions

 Turn on the power to the amplifier after connecting between the systems. Be sure to connect the power cable of
the amplifier to the AC outlet. Do not turn on/off the power supply by disconnecting and connecting the I/O cable
connector. It could damage the amplifier and AC adaptor.
 When the power is once turned off, wait for at least 5 seconds before turning it on again. If the power is turned on
within 5 seconds or turned on and off repeatedly, power failure may be caused by rush current generated at
power on.
 Warm up the system before use, for about 30 minutes after power on.
 Before turning off the power to the amplifier, be sure to exit the measurement software. If the power is turned off
with the software running, communication operation may not be terminated normally and an unexpected failure
may occur.
 When turning off the power after setting operation is performed, wait at least 3 seconds. The setting is stored in
the non-volatile memory in the amplifier but is not stored correctly if the power is turned off soon after the setting
operation.
 This system stores the data measured by the amplifier in the storage device (such as a hard disk) of PC. To
prevent the degradation of PC performance or unexpected failure, move the data frequently.
 When measurement is performed in monitor mode, "measurement" is executed when the signal (IN1) is input
from the molding machine or when the "SET" key on the amplifier is pressed.
 Avoid using the system in an environment subject to remarkably high or low temperature. The allowable range of
operating temperature is 0 to 50°C. If it is unavoidable to use the system at a place subject to direct sunlight or in
a cold area, protect it from sunlight or keep it warm.
 Use the system in the relative humidity range from 35 to 85%. Using it out of the humidity range or in an
environment subject to water splashes could result in performance deterioration or failure.
 Do not use the system in a dusty place. Performance degrades if the dust gets inside. Prevent dust from getting
inside not only during operation but also during storage. Use the system in an environment in which personal
computers can be used.
 If the environment changes drastically, do not operate the system soon. Leave the system in the new operating
environment to adapt it to the environment and then use it. If the ambient temperature or humidity is changed
drastically due to movement, condensation may cause performance degradation and failure.
 Do not use the system in an environment subject to vibration or impact. Continuous vibration or large impact
could cause performance degradation or failure.
 Do not use the system in strong electromagnetic fields. Use it in an environment in which personal computers
can be used. Using it in the vicinity of a radio, microwave oven, or electric furnace that generates a strong
electromagnetic field could cause performance degradation, malfunction, or failure.
 Do not use the system in locations with poor power supply conditions. Use it with a power supply at 100 VAC,
50/60 Hz, free from momentary power failure and noise.
 Do not pull connection cables. Connect each connection cable with a margin so that excessive force is not
applied to the connection. Pulling the cable or applying excessive force to it could cause failure, measurement
interruption, or abnormal measurements.
