Devices having HV modules (HV-2U2I etc.) do not support exchanging of modules (device safety!). -
Page 16: Power Supply
3.3 Power supply Measurement devices of the imc CRONOS system family are powered by a DC supply voltage which is supplied via a 2-pin LEMO-plug. Device LEMO plug type designation Size imc CRONOS-SL2/-SL4 FGG.1B.302.CLAD.62ZN (middle) imc CRONOScompact FGG.2B.302.CLAD.82ZN (big) The permissible supply voltage range with is 10 V to 32 V DC. The standard product package includes a desktop supply unit with 15 V DC (<60 W) or 24 V DC (<150 W). -
Page 17: Grounding With The Use Of The Included Power Adaptor
Grounding, shielding of the devices Chapter 3 3.4.1 Grounding with the use of the included power adaptor The DC-supply input on the device itself (LEMO socket, female) is galvanically isolated from the housing (CHASSIS): -SUPPLY input is not connected to CHASSIS internally. That means the decive's internal power supply circuitry comprises isolating DC/DC converter. -
Page 18: Shielding
Grounding, shielding of the devices Chapter 3 Isolated power inputs avoids ground loops in distributed topologies With stationary installations and the use of (already isolated) AC/DC adapters, any system ground differentials between the device and the central or local power supplies may not be relevant. The big issue in such a case, in contrast to mobile, in-vehicle applications, is from where to obtain a reliable ground voltage. -
