Section 1 - Introduction

1.1Precautions

This device is not designed for use in any medical or nuclear applications.

Do not operate this device in flammable or explosive environments.

Never operate with a power source other than the one recommended in this manual or listed on product labels.

This device has been designed for dry, moisture free indoor applications only.

Do not operate this device outside of the recommended use outlined in this manual.

Never use your data acquisition unit as a portable device. Your unit has been designed to be operated in a permanent installation only.

NOTE:

There are no user serviceable parts inside your device. Attempting to repair or service your unit may void your warranty.

NOTE:

The discharge of static electricity can damage some electronic components. Semiconductor devices are especially susceptible to ESD damage. You should always handle components carefully, and you should never touch connector pins or circuit components unless you are following ESD guidelines in an appropriate ESD controlled area. Such guidelines include the use of properly grounded mats and wrist straps, ESD bags and cartons, and related procedures.

NOTE:

Never remove a USB cable from an active OM-DAQ-USB- 2401 unit while an acquisition is in progress. An active unit is any unit that is currently open and has channels configured for scanned input. Such disconnection may require you to exit and then re-launch Omega DAQ Central, after the USB cable has been connected.
