Precautions to Observe When Performing Measurement

Please be sure to read the following carefully in order to prevent electric shocks or shorts.

DANGER

• Do not apply voltage of AC30 Vrms or 60 VDC or above between the analog input section and main unit (GND terminal), or between each analog input channel.

• Do not apply radio-frequency signals with high voltage (50 KHz or above).

• Be sure to use only the AC adapter provided as a standard accessory. The rated power supply range for the adapter is 100 to 240 VAC, and the rated frequency is 50/60 Hz. Do not use any other voltages.

Channel Switching Relay

–

CAUTION

Capacitors have been incorporated into the input circuit to increase the noise elimination capability. After voltage measurement, when the inputs have been disconnected, there will still be some electric charge remaining. Before starting another measurement operation, short-circuit the + and - terminals to enable self-discharge. The GL800 has a scan system. While in the status (open) in which signals are not input to the input terminal, measured results may be influenced by signals from other channels. In such a case, turn OFF the input setting or short circuit +/-. If signals are input correctly, measured results are not influenced by other channels.

Checks and Preparation

2-21

2.15 Noise Countermeasures

Be sure to connect the chassis GND of the object to be measured.

It may become effective by ensuring that the chassis GND wire of the measurement object is connected to a good ground.

Connect the signal chassis GND and the measurement device chassis ground.

Use a short, thick lead to connect the chassis GND of the measurement object to the GL800’ chassis GND. It will become even more effective if the ground potentials are the same.

The effects of the digital filter function will vary depending on the number of terminal channels and sampling speed.

If measured values fluctuate due to noise, set the sampling speed to a value which enables the digital filter function.

See page 3-20 for details.
