Safety Requirements
Warning
Only the voltage within the specified range can be connected. Voltage
exceeding the specified range may cause damage to the device, and even
present a negative impact on personal safety. Check the product
specification for
detailed reference to the range of voltages that can be
connected by each port.
Warning
Do not attempt to operate the device in other ways that are not mentioned
in this document. Incorrect use of the device may be dangerous. In the
event of device damage
, the internal security protection mechanism will
also be affected.
Warning
Do not attempt to replace device components or change devices in other
ways that are not mentioned in this document. Do not repair the device
yourself in the event of a
product failure.
Warning
Do not use the device in an environment where an explosion may occur or
where flammable flue or gas is present. If you must use the device in this
kind of environment, please fit it into a proper case.
Warning
While the device is running, all chassis covers and fill panels need to be
closed.
Warning
For equipment with exhaust vents, do not insert foreign objects into the
vents or block air circulation in the vents.

3 |
Warning For use in measurement category I (CAT I) only. Do not use in
measurement category II/III/IV. Use this device to connect signals
or make measurements.
Measurement Categories
Measurement categories Note
Measurement categories I (CAT I) means that measurements are made on a circuit that is not directly
connected to the main power supply. For example, a circuit that is not exported from the main power
supply, especially a circuit that is exported from a protected (internal) primary power supply, is
measured. In the latter case, the instantaneous stress will change. Therefore, the user should be aware
of the instantaneous affordability of the device.
Measurement categories II (CAT II) means that measurements are made on a circuit that is directly
connected to a low-voltage device. For example, a measurement on household appliances, portable
tools and similar equipment.
Measurement categories III (CAT III) means that measurements are made in construction equipment.
For example, a measurement on the distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring (including cables,
Busbars, junction boxes, switches, sockets) in fixed equipment and equipment for industrial use and
certain other equipment (for example, fixed motors that are permanently connected to fixtures).
Measurement categories IV (CAT IV) means that measurements are made on the source of low-
voltage equipment. For example, a measurement on a meter, a major overcurrent protection device,
and a pulse control unit.

Pollution degree 1: No pollution, or only dry non-conductive pollution. This pollution degree has no
effect. For example: a clean room or an air-conditioned office environment.
Pollution degree 2: Generally only dry non-conductive pollution occurs. Temporary conduction can
sometimes occur due to condensation. For example: General indoor environment.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry non-conductive pollution becomes
conductive due to condensation. For example, an outdoor sheltered environment.
Pollution degree 4: Permanent conductive pollution caused by conductive dust, rain, or snow. For
example: Outdoor places.

PCI-5xxx data acquisition device can be used in Windows 7 and Windows 10, including
32-bit and 64-bit. Here, taking the driver installation in Windows 10 environment as an
example, we will introduce how to install the driver of PCI-5000 data acquisition
device step by step. The steps of installing drivers in Windows 7 environment are the
same as those in Windows 10 environment.
1) Open the device manager of Windows operating system, and when the driver is
not installed, it is displayed as "PCI Data Capture and Signal Processing
Controller", as shown in Figure 2.4 below.
