CONNECTIONS AND EXAMPLES
Cautions
Avoid damage to your Data Acquisition Module inputs/outputs and computer
and other equipment.
This is very important in dry climates and during the
Winter months!
Before removing the module from the anti-static protective packaging
• Discharge any static electricity buildup on your body by touching a large
grounded metal surface or the metal chassis on equipment connected
to earth ground by a 3-wire power cord.
• Avoid touching the connectors or I/O port connection wires until any
static on your body has been discharged.
• Unplug the USB Cable before making connections to the I/O plug from
your controlled or monitored devices.
Safety Checks
• After making connections to your I/O connector plug, make sure no
hazardous voltages exist between the I/O Connection lines from your
devices to the ground pins (A-GND and D-GND) by checking for AC
and DC voltages with a Voltmeter or DVM. Then connect your I/O plug
to the I/O Connector on the module.
• Check for AC and DC voltages between the A-GND or D-GND and the
computer ground/chassis before connecting the USB cable to the
module and computer.
Protect Your Module
The module can withstand minor overvoltage, it is protected up to +15V
or –10V. Connections which exceed the ratings or which cause
excessive input or output current may damage the module.
1. Don’t short or connect the digital or analog outputs to ground or to
a voltage source without current limiting resistance.
2. If your load has less resistance than the specified ratings,
excessive current will damage the driver circuits. Use current
limiting resistors in series with the output lines.
CAUTION: ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICE
Use ESD precautions for safe handling.
