1 Commissioning
This chapter shows you the steps you need to take in order to
make your measurement chain ready for use (Spider8, PC and
transducer).
• Unpack the Spider8
• Check the Spider8 for damage
• Is the delivery complete?
If you have the basic version of the device:
• On safety grounds, all free channels (4 to 7) must be covered
with blank plates.
Adequate EMC protection cannot be guaranteed unless this is
done.
Update firmware:
Existing Spider8 can be brought up to date with the Spider8 System
CD.
• Connect the existing Spider8 to the COM1 or COM2 port of the
PC with the serial cable.
• Program start with Windows PC:
- Start setup
- Choose language
- Choose Spider8-firmware update

If you want to install modules in channels 4 to 7:
The modules (DC/SR01 or TF/SR55; TF/SR30 - TF =

delivered separately.
