Safety Warning - PICO ADC-200 Installationsanleitung

pico ADC-200
1 English
1.1 Introduction
The PICO ADC-200 is a high speed analog to digital converter with two
input channels and software controlled input ranges. It can be used as
a virtual instrument with the supplied PicoScope software: alternatively,
you can use the ADC-200 driver software to develop your own programs
to collect and analyse data from the unit.
This manual describes the physical and electrical properties of the ADC-
200. Other information can be found in the following locations:

The software disk also contains a 'README' file which contains any
information that was not available when this manual was printed.

1.2 Safety Warning

The ground input (BNC outer shell) is connected directly to the ground of
your computer. This is done in order to minimise interference. As with
most oscilloscopes, you should take care not to connect the ground input
of the ADC to anything which may be at some voltage other than ground;
doing so may cause damage to the ADC. If in doubt, connect a channel
input to the doubtful ground point and check that there is no significant
AC or DC voltage.
As some computers do not have an earth connection (for example
laptops), it must be assumed that the ADC-200 is not protected by an
earth. For this reason we recommend that only Class II (double
insulated) oscilloscope probes should be used.
The maximum input voltage of the ADC-200 is ±20V. Any voltages in
excess of ±100V may cause permanent damage to the unit.
The unit contains no user servicable parts, repair or calibration of the unit
requires specialised test equipment and must be performed by Pico
Technology Limited or their authorised distributors.
