MODEL
■ PC
• Certain PCs are designed not to start proper services to
USB devices such as the RZUS or may cause other incon-
veniences if such devices are connected to the PC before
start-up. Be sure to disconnect such devices when start-
ing up the PC and to connect them only after that.
• The PC Recorder Software is not applicable to various
power saving features provided by the PC (suspend,
stand-by, sleep, etc.). Do not go to the power saving mode
while the software program is running.
• If the PC goes to a low-power-consumption mode (stand-
by mode), the connected RZUS also goes to suspend mode.
The RZUS will then need warm-up for 10 minutes in or-
der to re-start.
• Do not connect/disconnect the RZUS while the PC Re-
corder software program is running (when the screen is
not in pause). When connecting the RZUS, wait that all
LEDs turns on and then the RUN LED starts blinking
before starting recording.
■ COM PORT
• There are PCs which have some of their serial ports re-
served for specific devices. If such a reserved port is as-
signed as virtual COM port for the RZUS, the PC Record-
er may not operate adequately. Assign a new port other
than reserved for the PC Recorder.
• PC's plug-and-play function may automatically assign a
COM port reserved for other devices to the PC Recorder if
such port is not actually used.
• Device reservation status can be confirmed on the Win-
dows desktop at: Start > Program > Accessories > System
Tool > System Information > Components.
■ USB HUB
• In certain system configurations using a USB hub/switch,
there are possibilities of missing sampling due to delays
at the hub. We recommend not to use a hub if possible,
and to limit the number of connected devices to the mini-
mum if a hub must be used.
■ ENVIRONMENT
• Indoor use.
• When heavy dust or metal particles are present in the air,
install the module inside proper housing with sufficient
ventilation.
• Do not install the module where it is subjected to continu-
ous vibration. Do not subject the unit to physical impact.
• Environmental temperature must be within 0 to 60°C (32
to 140°F) with relative humidity within 30 to 90% RH in
order to ensure adequate life span and operation.
• Be sure that the ventilation slits are not covered with ca-
bles, etc.
