1.4.1.8 General Safety
Certain basic rules of safety are always to be followed, even with 'safe' devices such as imc CANSAS.
Unintended and/ or inappropriate usage of the device can be dangerous for the operator and/or
surrounding persons and, in the worst case, can damage the test object or imc CANSAS itself. We strongly
discourage the user from making any modifications to the measurement system whatsoever. Doing so
can be especially dangerous because other users may be unaware of the changes.
If you determine that the device cannot be operated in a non-dangerous manner, then the device is to
be immediately taken out of operation and protected from unintentional use. Taking this action is
justified under any of the following conditions:
the device is visibly damaged,
loose parts can be heard within the device,
the device no longer functions properly,
the device has been stored for a long period of time under unfavorable conditions (e.g. outdoors or
high-humidity environments).
1. Always wait a few seconds before turning the device back on after it has been turned off. A
general test of the system (e.g. voltages, operating condition, memory test) is performed during
the boot sequence.
2. WARNING! Opening the housing or removing any parts not normally removable by hand can
expose dangerous voltages. Always turn the device off and unplug the power supply before doing
so!
3. It is strictly forbidden to repair or adjust an opened device which is plugged in. And if such work is
absolutely necessary, then only specially trained personnel who are fully familiar with the
procedures to be used may carry this out.
Reference
See also "Troubleshooting ", in this chapter. Please refer to the specifications in the
Appendix and the application hints for the different imc CANSAS modules for information
on avoiding damage to the device due to inappropriate signal connection.
Be sure to shield and ground the input and output cables properly. Connect the measurement
signals as shown below to make measurements in compliance with the EMC guidelines:
For potential-isolated amplifier inputs it may be necessary to use double shielding.
1.4.1.9 Maintenance and Service
Your imc CANSAS device requires no special maintenance.
The listed maximum error is valid for one year after delivery under normal operating conditions (pay
attention the operating temperature).
