Legal notice Chapter 1
Liability restrictions
All information and notes in this manual have been compiled taking into account the applicable standards and
regulations, the state of the art and our many years of knowledge and experience.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage due to:
· Non-observance of the manual
· Non-intended use
Guarantee
Each device undergoes several quality tests before leaving production. In the process, almost every early failure
is detected. Nevertheless, it is possible that a component fails only after a longer period of operation. For this
reason, all imc products come with a two-year functional warranty. The prerequisite is that no changes have
been made in the device.
Unauthorized intervention in the device voids any warranty claim.
ElektroG, RoHS 2, WEEE, CE
The imcTest & Measurement GmbH is registered with the authority as follows:
WEEE Reg. no. DE 43368136
valid from 24.11.2005
1.3 Calibration of the measurement inputs
imcTest & Measurement GmbH recommends an annual calibration of the Dx-SCT measurement inputs and the
analog outputs of the Dx-RCI. For further information please contact us at:
E-Mail:
[e-mail]
Note
The maximum errors specified apply for 1 year after delivery of the device under normal operating conditions
(observe operating temperatures), unless otherwise stated.

Customized cable manufacturing Chapter 1
1.4 Customized cable manufacturing
To comply with the limits for Class B equipment under Part 15 of the FCC Rules, all signal lines connected to the
meter must be shielded and the shield must be connected.
Unless otherwise indicated, all connecting cables must not be long cables as defined by IEC 61326-1 (<30m).
LAN cables (RJ45) and CAN bus cables (DSUB-9) are excluded from this. Only cables with suitable properties for
the task (e.g. isolation to protect against electric shock) may be used. Independently performed modifications to
cables will void the manufacturer's functional warranty.
1.5 Notes regarding this manual

safety measures and instructions provided.
Additionally, all accident prevention and general safety regulations pertinent to the location at which the device
is used must be adhered to.
These instructions exclusively describe the device, not how to operate it by means of the software!

2 Safety
This section provides an overview of all important aspects of protection of the users for reliable and trouble-free
operation. Failure to comply with the instructions and protection notes provided here can result in serious
danger.
Responsibility of the operator
The Dx telemetry system is for use in commercial applications. The user is therefore obligated to comply with
legal regulations for work safety.
Along with the work safety procedures described in this document, the user must also conform to regulations
for safety, accident prevention and environmental protection which apply to the work site. If the product is not
used in a manner specified by the manufacturer, the protection supported by the product may be impaired.
The user must also ensure that any personnel assisting in the use of the Dx telemetry system have also read and
understood the content of this document.
Operating personnel
This document identifies the following qualifications for various fields of activity:
· Users of measurement engineering: Fundamentals of measurement engineering. Basic knowledge of electrical
engineering is recommended. Familiarity with computers and the Microsoft Windows operating system. Users
must not open or structurally modify the measurement device.
· Qualified personnel are able, due to training in the field and to possession of skills, experience and familiarity
with the relevant regulations, to perform work assigned while independently recognizing any hazards.
Warning
· Danger of injury due to inadequate qualifications!
· Improper handling may lead to serious damage to personnel and property. When in doubt, consult qualified
personnel.
· Work which may only be performed by trained imc personnel may not be performed by the user. Any
exceptions are subject to prior consultation with the manufacturer and are conditional on having obtained
corresponding training.

Special hazards
This segment states what residual dangers have been identified by the hazard analysis. Observe the safety notes
listed here and the warnings appearing in subsequent chapters of this manual in order to reduce health risks and
to avoid dangerous situations. Existing ventilation slits on the sides of the device must be kept free to prevent
heat accumulation inside the device. Please operate the device only in the intended position of use if so
specified.
Danger
Lethal danger from electric current!
· Contact with conducting parts is associated with immediate lethal danger.
· Damage to the insulation or to individual components can be lethally dangerous.
Therefore:
· In case of damage to the insulation, immediately cut off the power supply and have repair
performed.
· Work on the electrical equipment must be performed exclusively by expert electricians.
· During all work performed on the electrical equipment, it must be deactivated and tested for
static potential.
Injuries from hot surfaces!
· Devices from imc are designed so that their surface temperatures do not exceed limits
stipulated in EN 61010-1 under normal conditions.
Therefore:
· Surfaces whose temperature can exceed the limits under circumstances are denoted by the
symbol shown at left.
Industrial safety
We certify that the Dx telemetry system in all product configuration options corresponding to this
documentation conforms to the directives in the accident prevention regulations in "Electric Installations and
Industrial Equipment" (DGUV Regulation 3)*. This confirmation applies exclusively to the Dx telemetry system,
but not to all other components included in the scope of delivery.
This certification has the sole purpose of releasing imc from the obligation to have the electrical equipment
tested prior to first use (§ 5 Sec. 1, 4 of DGUV Regulation3). This does not affect guarantee and liability
regulations of the civil code.
