2.1
Safety warning
We strongly recommend that you read the general safety information below before
using your product for the first time. If the equipment is not used in the manner
specified, then the protection provided may be impaired. This could result in damage
to your computer and/or injury to yourself or others.
Maximum input range.
The ADC-20 and ADC-24 are designed to measure voltages
in the range
±
2.5 volts, but are protected against overvoltages of ±30 volts. Any
voltages outside the overvoltage protection range may cause permanent damage to
the unit.
Mains (line) voltages.
The ADC-20 and ADC-24 data loggers are not designed for
use with mains (line) voltages.
Safety grounding.
The ground of every product is connected directly to the ground of
your computer via the interconnecting cable provided. This is done to minimize
interference. If the PC (especially laptops) is not grounded, reading stability cannot be
guaranteed and it may be necessary to manually ground the equipment.
As with most data loggers, you should take care to avoid connecting the inputs of the
product to any equipment which may be at an unsuitable voltage. If in doubt, use a
meter to check that there is no hazardous AC or DC voltage. Failure to check may
cause damage to the product and/or computer and could cause injury to yourself or
others.
You should assume that the product does not have a protective safety earth. Incorrect
configuration and/or use on voltages outside the maximum input range can be
hazardous.
Repairs.
The unit contains no user-serviceable parts: repair or calibration of the unit
requires specialized test equipment and must be performed by Pico Technology
Limited or their authorized distributors.
