building installation.
Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the circuits
directly connected to the low voltage installation.
Do NOT to use the equipment for measurements on
MAINS.
Do NOT to use the equipment for measurements on
circuits which with a TRANSIENT OVERVOLTAGE
over 1500 V.
Measuring circuits without a MEASUREMENT
CATEGORY: Measuring circuits are not intended to
be directly connected to the MAINS.
Measurement category of the instrument is rated as
without a MEASUREMENT CATEGORY.

Power Supply
WARNING
AC Input voltage: 100/120/220/240 V AC ±10%,
50Hz / 60Hz
The power supply voltage should not fluctuate more
than 10%.
Connect the protective grounding conductor of the AC
power cord to an earth ground, to avoid electrical shock.
Power Cord
Requirement
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired. Do NOT replace the detachable
MAINS supply cords by inadequately RATED cords.
Suitable supply cord set for use with the equipment:
Mains plug: Shall be national approval
Mains connector: C13 type
Cable:
1. Length of power supply cord: less than 3 m
2. Cross-section of conductors: at least 0.75 mm2
3. Cord type shall meet the requirements of IEC
60227 or IEC 60245 (e.g.: H05VV-F, H05RN-F)

Fuse
WARNING
Fuse type: T0.125A 100/120 VAC
T0.125A 220/240 VAC
Make sure the correct type of fuse is installed before
power up.
To avoid risk of fire, replace the fuse only with the
specified type and rating.
Disconnect the power cord before fuse replacement.
Make sure the cause of a fuse blowout is fixed before
fuse replacement.
Cleaning the
Instrument
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid into the
DAQ-9600.
Do not use chemicals or cleaners containing harsh
material such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.
Operation
Environment
Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free, almost
non-conductive pollution (Note below)
Temperature: Full accuracy for 0°C to 55°C.
Humidity:
< 30°C: < 80%RH (non-condensing)
30°C~40°C: <70%RH (non-condensing)
>40°C: <50%RH (non-condensing)
Altitude: <2000m
(Note) EN 61010-1 specifies the pollution degrees and their
requirements as follows. The DAQ-9600 falls under degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution
occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution occurs.
Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by
condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which
is expected. In such conditions, equipment is normally protected
against exposure to direct sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure,
but neither temperature nor humidity is controlled.
Storage
Environment
Location: Indoor
Temperature: −40°C to 70°C
Humidity: <90%RH(non-condensing)
