We thank you for your trust.

METROLOGY
The meteorological conditions of your measurement instrument are defined in the specifications of
this notice. Climate and environmental conditions restrict the specifications of your recorder.
SEFRAM checks the characteristics of each appliance one by one on an automatic bench during its
manufacture. The adjustment and control are guaranteed under conditions of the ISO9001
certification by facilities in connection with the COFRAC (or equivalent in the context of ILAC
reciprocity).
The specified characteristics are considered stable for a period of 12 months from the first use under
normal conditions of use.
We recommend a check after 12 months and max. 24 months of use, then every 12 months after 24
months.
For any check of the characteristics, the following average climate conditions shall be maintained
(23°C+3°C –50(+20)%RH). The recorder should have been working for 0,5 hour before check.
We recommend that you have this control made by our after-sales service (Service Après-Vente) for
the best service and preservation of the measuring quality of your instrument.
When a recorder returns to SEFRAM, maximum service is provided with internal updating
according to the required adjustments and software updates. In case of shift in the characteristics,
your instrument shall be adjusted to recover its original characteristics.

2.IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please read cautiously the following instructions before using your recorder.
2.1. Specific cautions
Do not use the product for any other use than planned.
Use normalized cords for the connection of the device to the measurement points.
To prevent any risk of electric shock, never plug or unplug the measurement cords when
linked to the mains.
Never use in a wet environment.
Never use in an explosive atmosphere.
In case of malfunction or for the maintenance of the device, only a qualified personal
shall be allowed to work on it. In such a case, it is necessary to use Sefram spare parts.
Never cover the device: there is live voltage.
2.2. Security instructions
For correct use of the device, it is necessary that the users abide by the security instructions
and the instructions of use described in this manual.
Specific warnings are provided all along this manual.
If required, there are warning symbols on the device
Symbols and definitions
Symbols in this handbook:
Warning: potential danger for the user
Attention: potential danger for the device and/or the connected equipment
Remark: important information.

Important Information
Symbols on the device:
Danger (high voltage): immediate corporal danger
Attention: See the handbook. Risk of damage to the material connected to the
instrument or to the instrument itself
Ground: accessible parts linked to the ground of the device.
2.3. Conformity and limits of the device
The DAS60 recorder is in conformity with CEI 61010-1 (2001-02).
It includes high-potting (IR) with two primary insulation levels (IP).
Thanks to them, the channels 1 to 6 are insulated from each other and from the carter. This
architecture allows independent floating measurements within the limits of the admissible
maximum voltages.
See chapter "Technical specifications".
IP: Main or additional insulation
IR: Reinforced insulation
Attention: Never apply a voltage higher than the maximum admissible voltage
between the channels and from the ground of the carter.
The use of the device at frequencies > 100Hz and of the voltages> 50V,
requires imperatively the connection of the earthing protection or power
supply for safety reasons.

3.PRESENTATION
3.1. General
DAS60 is a programmable recorder that make it possible to measure and record voltages, currents,
temperatures, etc. on 6 channels and on 16 logical channels.
You can also record from Pt100 or Pt1000 probes on dedicated channels.
An integrated thermal printer option makes it possible to print signals in real time.
They can work in several modes:
Direct, for paper printing (option)
Memory, for acquisition on internal quick memory
File, for acquisition on internal SD card
Template, for acquisition on a pre-recorded template
Analysis of network
The "operator –recorder" dialog is made easier thanks to an intuitive interface on a wide touch
screen. The measurement parameters are easy to program.
