  • Safety Guidelines

    Caution Observe all instructions and cautions in the user documentation. Using the product in a manner not specified can damage the product and compromise the built-in safety protection.
    Attention Suivez toutes les instructions et respectez toutes les mises en garde de la documentation d'utilisation. L'utilisation du produit de toute autre façon que celle spécifiée risque de l'endommager et de compromettre la protection de sécurité intégrée.

    Caution The product will need to be mounted in suitable Fire and Mechanical end product enclosure; Exercise caution when placing the product inside an enclosure. Auxiliary cooling may be necessary to keep the product under the maximum ambient temperature rating for the product. Refer to the product specifications for more information about the maximum ambient temperature rating.
    Attention Le produit devra être monté dans un boîtier du produit final répondant aux exigences de résistance mécanique et de protection incendie ; faites preuve de prudence lorsque vous placez le produit dans un boîtier. Un système de refroidissement auxiliaire peut être nécessaire pour maintenir le produit en dessous de sa température nominale maximale. Reportez-vous aux spécifications du produit pour obtenir plus d'informations sur la température nominale maximale.
    Caution The product is designed for nonhazardous, live signals. You must ensure that all signals connected to the product are isolated from hazardous, live circuits and no unsafe voltages are present at the inputs. Voltages that exceed the specifications could result in damage to the product or electric shock.
    Attention Le produit est conçu pour les signaux en direct non dangereux. Vous devez vous assurer que tous les signaux connectés au produit sont isolés des circuits dangereux sous tension et qu'aucune tension dangereuse n'est présente aux entrées. Des tensions supérieures à celles mentionnées dans les spécifications peuvent endommager le produit ou provoquer un choc électrique.

    Safety Voltages

    Connect only voltages that are below these limits.

    Channel-to-COM

    ±30 V DC maximum, Measurement Category I

    Note Channel-to-COM is the maximum voltage that can be applied between a channel and COM without creating a safety hazard.
    Isolation Voltages

    Channel-to-channel

    None

    Channel-to-earth ground

    Continuous

    60 V DC, Measurement Category I

    Withstand, up to 2,000 m

    1,000 V RMS

    Measurement Category
    Caution Do not connect the product to signals or use for measurements within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.
    Attention Ne pas connecter le produit à des signaux dans les catégories de mesure II, III ou IV et ne pas l'utiliser pour effectuer des mesures dans ces catégories.
    Warning Do not connect the product to signals or use for measurements within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV, or for measurements on MAINs circuits or on circuits derived from Overvoltage Category II, III, or IV which may have transient overvoltages above what the product can withstand. The product must not be connected to circuits that have a maximum voltage above the continuous working voltage, relative to earth or to other channels, or this could damage and defeat the insulation. The product can only withstand transients up to the transient overvoltage rating without breakdown or damage to the insulation. An analysis of the working voltages, loop impedances, temporary overvoltages, and transient overvoltages in the system must be conducted prior to making measurements.
    Mise en garde Ne pas connecter le produit à des signaux dans les catégories de mesure II, III ou IV et ne pas l'utiliser pour des mesures dans ces catégories, ou des mesures sur secteur ou sur des circuits dérivés de surtensions de catégorie II, III ou IV pouvant présenter des surtensions transitoires supérieures à ce que le produit peut supporter. Le produit ne doit pas être raccordé à des circuits ayant une tension maximale supérieure à la tension de fonctionnement continu, par rapport à la terre ou à d'autres voies, sous peine d'endommager et de compromettre l'isolation. Le produit peut tomber en panne et son isolation risque d'être endommagée si les tensions transitoires dépassent la surtension transitoire nominale. Une analyse des tensions de fonctionnement, des impédances de boucle, des surtensions temporaires et des surtensions transitoires dans le système doit être effectuée avant de procéder à des mesures.

    Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-voltage sources, and electronics.

    Note Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are equivalent. These test and measurement circuits are for other circuits not intended for direct connection to the MAINS building installations of Measurement Categories CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV.
