•
the adapter is 100 to 240 VAC, and the rated frequency is 50/60 Hz. Do not use any other voltages.
Do not input the voltage that is exceeding the specication of this device.
•
· If a voltage exceeding the specied value is input, the semiconductor relay in the input section will be
damaged. Never input a voltage exceeding the specied value even for a moment. It will cause the re.
· Have an enough margin from the specication of withstanding voltage when using this device, it have to
consider a noise and change of the measurement voltage.
· Conrm this device is not broken before the input cable is connected to the input terminal.
· Please take care of the static electricity when the connecting the input cables or the thermocouples.
· Do not touch the tip of thermocouples with bare hand after the thermocouples are connected to the
terminal of this device when the tip of thermocouples is not insulated.
The static electricity of a human body will cause damage to this device.
· Do not put the tip of thermocouples to the object which is containing the static electricity when the tip of
thermocouples is not insulated. The static electricity of object will cause damage to this device.
· Do not put the tip of thermocouples to the object which is containing the leaked high voltage of chassis
or metal etc. when the tip of thermocouples is not insulated.
The leaked high voltage of object will cause damage to this device.
· We recommend that the insulation tape puts on the tip of thermocouples before connecting the
thermocouples to the input terminals.
This will protect this device from the static electricity and the leaked high voltage.
