For clarification, terms used in some Declarations of Conformity include:
pollution degree: any addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid or gaseous (ionized gases) that may
produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity. Pollution Degree I has no influence
on safety and implies: the equipment is at operating temperature with non-condensing humidity
conditions; no conductive particles are permitted in the atmosphere; warm-up time is sufficient to
avert any condensation or frost; no hazardous voltages are applied until completion of the warm-up
period. Pollution Degree II implies the expectation of occasional condensation.
overvoltage (installation) category: classification with limits for transient overvoltage, dependent
on the nominal line voltage to earth. Category I implies signals without high transient values.
Category II applies to typical mains power lines with some transients.
Safety Conditions
Users must comply with all relevant safety conditions as stated in the user’s manual and in the pertinent
Declarations of Conformity. Both the documentation and the associated hardware make use of the
following Warning and Caution symbols. If you see any of these symbols on a product or in a document,
carefully read the related information and be alert to the possibility of personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
This WARNING symbol is used in documentation and/or on hardware to warn of
possible injury or death from electrical shock under noted conditions.
This WARNING/CAUTION symbol is used to warn of possible personal injury or
equipment damage under noted conditions.
This CAUTION symbol warns of possible equipment damage due to electrostatic
discharge. The discharge of static electricity can damage some electronic
components. Semiconductor devices are especially susceptible to ESD damage.
You should always handle components carefully, and you should never touch
connector pins or circuit components unless you are following ESD guidelines in an
appropriate ESD-controlled area. Such guidelines include the use of properly
grounded mats and wrist straps, ESD bags and cartons, and related procedures.
Unless otherwise stated our data acquisition products contain no user-serviceable
parts. Only qualified personnel are to provide service to the devices.
The specific safety conditions for CE compliance vary by product; but general safety conditions include the
following bulleted items:
The operator must observe all safety cautions and operating conditions specified in the
documentation for all hardware used.
The host computer and all connected equipment must be CE compliant.
All power must be off to the device and externally connected equipment before internal access to
the device is permitted.
Isolation voltage ratings: do not exceed documented voltage limits for power and signal inputs.
All wire insulation and terminal blocks in the system must be rated for the isolation voltage in
use. Voltages above 30 Vrms or ±60 VDC must not be applied if any condensation has formed
on the device.
Current and power use must not exceed specifications. Do not defeat fuses or other over-current
protection.
