Operation of the PDM System
5.1
Set up the measuring System
For the commissioning of the PDM platform the suitable power supply, a USB cable type
A-mini B as well as the installation CD with the zebris FDM software are necessary. All
components are included in the scope of delivery of the PDM measuring system.
The underground of the set-up location must be plain and horizontal.
The platform must be set up on a slip-proof underlay or installed in a catwalk, so as
to exclude any danger to the test person caused by the platform sliding.
Do not set up the platform near a source of heating or in direct sunlight in front of a
window as a rise in temperature can lead to inaccurate measuring results.
Set-up the measuring system in a way, that the socket for the mains connection is
accessible easily at all times and that the device can be separated from the power
supply without obstacles.
Once the measuring system is set up safely and horizontally, it can be connected to
the power supply and put into operation.
WARNING
Be sure that all the mains and connection cables of the PDM Platform
are laid safely and that they are protected against stepping on, so that
nobody can trip over them. Check all the cables and the connection
plug regularly for any damage.
The cables therefore can be laid under a cable protection or fixed to
the floor using a tape if necessary.
