CE Enhancements for DBKs
The following CE enhancements are detailed in the DBK Cards and Modules User’s Manual
(p/n 457-0905).
• DBK41/CE
• Edge Guard (for DBK5, DBK8, and DBK44)
• Applicable cables and connectors
CE Compliance for System Expansion
The Daq devices are CE compliant at the time they leave the factory, and will remain in
compliance providing that the conditions stated on their respective Declaration of Conformity
cards continue to be met.
You may want to expand your data acquisition system while having it retain its “CE Compliant”
status. If so, refer to the most recent Declaration of Conformity for each device, prior to
making any efforts to expand the system.
Connecting a non-CE Compliant DBK module or card to your
system will make the system non-compliant.
In order to remain CE Compliant, DaqLab/2000 Series and DaqScan/2000 Series devices
require the use of ferrite inductive collars and a ground line, which are included in an Ethernet
CE Kit. Installation instructions for the kit follow this chapter.
General rules of thumb regarding expansion, while remaining CE Compliant, are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Review the most recent Declaration of Conformity for each device.
Use short cables.
When possible, use shielded cables.
When assembling or disassembling components, take ESD precautions, including
the use of grounded wrist straps.
Ensure that the host computer is CE Compliant.
Ensure that expansion devices are CE Compliant
Ensure all system components are properly grounded.
