Legal notices Chapter 1 Guarantee Each device is subjected to a 24-hour "burn-in" before leaving imc. This procedure is capable of detecting almost all cases of early failure. This does not, however, guarantee that a component will not fail after longer operation. Therefore, all imc devices are granted liability for a period of two years.

Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3 Notes on connecting 3.3.1 Precautions for operation Certain ground rules for operating the system, aside from reasonable safety measures, must be observed to prevent danger to the user, third parties, the device itself and the measurement object. These are the use of the system in conformity to its design, and the refraining from altering the system, since possible later users may not be properly informed and may ill-advisedly rely on the precision and safety promised by the manufacturer.
Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.2 Power supply Each device is powered by a DC-supply voltage which is supplied via a 2-pin LEMO-plug. Type designation LEMO plug: Device LEMO plug type designation Size FGG.1B.302 CLAD 52ZN middle FGG.0B.302 CLAD 52ZN small The permissible supply voltage range is 10 ...
Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.3 Grounding, shielding In order to comply with Part 15 of the FCC-regulations applicable to devices of Class B, the system must be grounded. 3.3.3.1 Devices with non-isolated power supply CS devices The DC-supply input on the device itself (LEMO-socket) is not galvanically isolated from the housing (CHASSIS): -SUPPLY input is galvanically connected to CHASSIS internally.

Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.3.4 Grounding with power supplied by a car battery imc CL Devices with isolated DC-supply (e.g. battery) If the power supply (e.g. car battery) and the measurement device are at different voltage levels, then if they were connected by the supply line, it would cause a ground loop.
Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.3.5 Shielding Also, all signal leads to the device must be shielded and the shielding grounded (electric contact between the shielding and the plug housing "CHASSIS"). To avoid compensation currents, always connect the shielding to one side (potential) only.If the imc DSUB block screw terminal plug is used, the shielding should be connected to the pull-relief clamp on the cable bushing.
Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.6 Main switch The main switch of all CS-devices takes the form of a flip switch. The main switch of the CL-devices takes the form of a rocker switch, which activates the device when it is tipped for approx.
Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.8 UPS Devices with DC supply input are equipped with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This allows for a continuous operation unaffected by temporary short-term outage of the main power supply. This type of operation is particularly useful for operation in a vehicle, permanently attached to starter lock and main power switch and thus not requiring manual control.
Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.10 Removable storage For saving measured data, all imc devices support a removable storage medium. The slot for the CF removable memory is located on the front of the devices, see adjacent figure. Removing the removable memory when the device is switched on If you remove the removable storage without notice, defective clusters may result.
Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.11 Signal connection For devices with DSUB-15 connection technology, the convenient imc terminal plugs for solderless screw terminal connection are available as optional accessories. ACC/DSUBM-xxx: snap the nose into the slot Open the Metal plug: 1.
Maintenance and servicing Chapter 4 4 Maintenance and servicing 4.1 Maintenance and servicing imc recommends performing a service check every 12 months. An imc service check includes system maintenance in accordance with the service interval plan as specified by the manufacturer and a complete function test (maintenance, inspection and revision).
Installation - Software Chapter 5 5 Start of operation Software / Firmware 5.1 Installation - Software The associated measurement engineering software imc STUDIO, the configuration and operating interface for all imc instruments, provides the devices with exceedingly versatile functionality. It achieves comprehensive total solutions for everything from laboratory tests through mobile data logger application all the way to complete industrial test stations.
Connect the device Chapter 5 In very demanding applications, you might consider grouping multiple GBit Ethernet devices via even higher- performance sections lines of the network (e.g. via 5 GBit Ethernet) and to connect these groups to NAS-components, for instance, via these lines. When such imc devices are included which use network-based PTP-synchronization (e.g. CRXT or CRFX-2000GP), then it is necessary to use network switches which fully support this protocol on the hardware side.

Connecting via LAN in three steps Chapter 5 Once the dialog starts, the system automatically searches for all devices in the network. In the tree diagram, all available devices are indicated. If the device If there is any IP-conflict, appears among the group "Currently not reachable" ①, it is necessary to modify devices affected will not the device's LAN-settings.

Connecting via LAN in three steps Chapter 5 If there is a direct connection between the device and the PC by a cable, then DHCP should not be used. In order to apply the changes, click on the button "Apply". Wait for the device to restart and then close the dialog.
Firmware update Chapter 5 5.4 Firmware update Every software version comes with matching firmware for the hardware. The software only works with devices having the right firmware. Once the program connects up with the unit, the device's firmware is checked. If the software version doesn't match the device's firmware version, you are asked if you want to perform a firmware-update.

Firmware update Chapter 5 The following symbols for the individual firmware components appear in the list: Symbols not current firmware conforms to current standards error occurred during update procedure — this option is not available on the device If no status indicators are displayed, no connection could be made to the corresponding device. The duration of the update depends on the number of amplifiers (can last up to several minutes).

DSUB-9 pin configuration Chapter 6 Power consumption reserves: · This design guarantees a current of 1 A per node (up to 70°C). In addition, the PTC fuse then slowly starts limiting the current and "disconnecting" the loads. The generally low consumption of the CANSAS modules should not be underestimated, since the power is achieved by the current at a low supply voltage.
