SENSE terminals
Use the SENSE HI and SENSE LO terminals and the INPUT
terminals with the 4-wire resistance, 3-wire and 4-wire RTD
temperature, and DC voltage ratio functions.
Use the INPUT HI and INPUT LO terminals for all measurements

Instrument power
Follow the steps below to connect the DAQ6510 to line power and turn on the instrument. The
DAQ6510 operates from a line voltage of 100 V to 240 V at a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Make sure
the operating voltage in your area is compatible. The default setting is 240V.
Before plugging in the line cord, check the line setting block on the rear of the instrument. If it doesn’t
match their mains installation setting, remove the block and reinsert to select voltage.
You must turn on the DAQ6510 and allow it to warm up for at least 30 minutes to achieve rated
accuracies.
Operating the instrument on an incorrect line voltage may cause damage to the instrument,
possibly voiding the warranty.
