SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Do not forget to read the safety precautions prior to use.）
The EDX-10B is designed to be used according to "7. SPECIFICATIONS."
Do not use the EDX-10B in an environment exceeding the specifications.
Or, system failure may result in.
PRIOR TO USE
For safe use of the EDX-10B, do not forget to read the “Safety Precautions” prior to use.
Kyowa Electronic Instruments Co., Ltd. assumes no liability for any damage resulting from the user’s failure to comply
with the safety precautions.
For safety operation of the EDX-10B, the following symbol mark is attached to the EDX-10B.
Indicates “PROTECTIVE GROUND TERMINAL.”
Be sure to connect the GND terminal to the ground.
SAFETY SYMBOLS
For safety operation of the EDX-10B, the following symbol marks are used in the Instruction Manual.
WARNING
Improper operation of the system may result in death or severe
injury of the operator.
CAUTION
Improper operation of the system may result in injury of the
operator and physical damage of the system.
WARNING
WARNING
Be sure to observe the warning and precautions described in the EDX-10B Instruction Manual (FOR
HARDWARE).
Power Supply
To prevent a fire hazard, when using the optional AC adapter, check the voltage range of the AC power outlet
before connecting.
Protective Ground
Be sure to connect the GND terminal. Or, it may cause electric shock, lower the performance and cause
trouble.
Avoid using in environment with inflammable gas, etc.
To prevent the risk of fire hazard or explosion, do not use the EDX-10B in environment with inflammable
gas, vapor, or dust.
If any trouble occurs
To prevent fire hazards, if smoke is emerging from the EDX-10B, immediately disconnect the USB cable or
AC adapter to terminate the system operation.

CAUTION
●CAUTION
Be sure to observe the caution and precautions described in the EDX-10B Instruction Manual (FOR
HARDWARE).
Do not use the EDX-10B outdoors.
Or, it may cause electric shock, fire hazard, lower the performance and cause trouble.
Use the EDX-10B within temperature ranging from 0 to 40ºC.
Use at temperatures exceeding the specified range may lower the performance and cause trouble.
If use under direct sunlight or in a cold place is inevitable, prepare a sunscreen or take proper measures to keep
it warm.
Use the EDX-10B in the specified operating humidity of 20 to 85% RH.
Use in a humid place exceeding the specified range or where it is exposed to splashing water may lower the
performance and cause trouble.
Do not use the EDX-10B immediately after the change in the environment.
Leave the EDX-10B as it is to acclimate to the environment.
Abrupt change in ambient temperature due to transportation, etc. may cause dew condensation, which may
result in lower performance and troubles.
Do not use the EDX-10B where it is subject to significant vibration or impact.
The vibration resistance and impact resistance are as follows.
Vibration resistance: 29.42m/s2 (3G), 5 to 200Hz (when operating)
Impact Resistance: 294m/s2(30G)/11msec
Use the EDX-10B in an area where vibration and impact can be kept within the scope of specifications.
Continuous vibration or severe impact may cause deteriorated performance and system failure.
Do not use the EDX-10B in strong electromagnetic field.
Use the EDX-10B in an environment where magnetic field is acceptable to the PC.
Performance may be lowered and erroneous operation and troubles may result if it is used near a telemetry
system, microwave oven, electronic furnace or any other equipment generating a strong magnetic field.
Do not use the EDX-10B under poor conditions.
Optional AC adapter (UN310-0515): 100 to 240 VAC (50 Hz/60 Hz) The power supply used for the EDX-10B
should not experience an instantaneous power failure and be free from noise.
The specifications of the optional AC adapter (UN310-0515) is as follows.
Input voltage: 100 to 240 VAC (50 Hz/60 Hz)
Output voltage: 5 VDC (1.5 A)
Operating Temperature Range 0 to 40℃
The optional AC adapter (UN310-0515) is consumable item. Replace it every five years.
Do not connect the USB cable immediately after disconnecting.
Wait approximately 5 seconds before connecting the USB cable again.
Do not pull cables.
Lay cords and cables with a certain allowance so that unreasonable force is applied to the connections.
Pulling or unreasonable force may cause troubles or interrupt the measurement.
Avoid installing sensors and EDX-10B near a welding machine.
Failure to do so will pose the risk of erroneous data, malfunction and failure.
Do not disassemble or remodel the EDX-10B.
Disassembling or remodeling by user may cause electric shock hazards or damage the EDX-10B.
This warranty does not cover any damaged or defective parts that results from disassembling or remodeling.
Do not use the EDX-10B under dusty environment.
This can lead to performance problems and decreased operating efficiency.
Be careful that dust may not enter the EDX-10B not only during operation but also under stored conditions.
Preheat the EDX-10B before use.
After the power ON, always preheat the EDX-10B for approximately 10 minutes.

CAUTION
●Handle the CD-R with care.
Do not expose the CD-R to direct sun light, high temperature, or high humidity.
Do not apply pressure to the CD-R by laying object or bending.
Handle with care to avoid any fingerprint, dirt, scratch on both sides.
●Cleaning.
When the product gets dirty, clean the product with a dry soft cloth. When dust exists inside the
EDX-10B, clean it by using an air blow gun. Do not touch electronic parts.

Reference items required when handling the EDX-10B.
Essential precautions required when handling the EDX-10B.
LIMITED LIFE PARTS AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The EDX-10B consists of various electronic components and those components, if not all, have a useful life.
Using them exceeding the years specified according to each part type (useful life) may affect the characteristics of the
EDX-10B, resulting in a malfunction or a failure.
You need to replace parts with a regular preventive maintenance schedule.
Limited life parts used with the EDX-10B are as follows.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitor
The signal-noise ratio will lower due to capacity low or smoke will be emitted due to liquid leak, resulting in a
malfunction of the EDX-10B.
AC adapter (optional accessories)
Heat and smoke will be emitted, resulting in an unstable voltage.
To operate the EDX-10B normally, finding a sign of the EDX-10B failure early by daily/periodic inspections and
taking the corrective action are required.
For inspection, contact KYOWA or our representatives.
* All components do age and will fail.
EDX-10B REPLACEMENT BEFORE THE END OF SERVICE LIFE
Preventive maintenance and replacement parts are a cost-effective way of keeping the performance and extending the
service life of the EDX-10B.
Regardless of the replacement parts, the EDX-10B itself gradually deteriorates with age.
Before the expected service life is reached, consider replacing the EDX-10B with a new one or the latest series as
preventive maintenance.
