Strip any i nsulation from the wire to give 7 to 9 m m bare wire. Push the wire into the opening, and, whi le holding it i n position, withdraw the screwdriver to release the sp rin g.
SDM-CVO4 4-Channel Current/Voltage Output Module 4.2 Output Device Connections For each output channel there are f our terminals which are labelled V o , Id plus there are two ground ( ) connections per channel. The two ground term inals are internally connected; two are provided for convenience.
Instruction Manual a) The remote device powers the l oop, where, depending on the ground referencing requirement s of that device, the connecti on can be as shown in the diagrams below: V+ Remote Vol .
SDM-CVO4 4-Channel Current/Voltage Output Module 4.2.3 Shield and Ground Connections It is generally advi sable to used shie lded (screened) cable when connecting the output to any rem ote system to reduce the chances of noise pickup. The shield will only be effective if it is conn ected to a good ground reference point.
Instruction Manual Select channel(s) by fitting jumper (s) between appropriate terminals. (Current mode only.) Jumper shown fitted to ‘enable’ Channel 4.

Instruction Manual Where the SDM-CVO4 is going to be used in applications where the po tential difference between the datalogger and the output terminals exceeds 50 V RMS AC, 74 VDC then careful considerati on has to be taken to ensure safe operation and compliance with local safety regu latio n s.
SDM-CVO4 4-Channel Current/Voltage Output Module this device is at the low end of its to lerance band (±10%), combined with the normal tolerance of flash test devi ces, then the spark gap could fire during a 1500 VAC flash test , which may cause an indication of failure.
Instruction Manual compensated for. With the SDM-CVO4 as an ex citation source, any drift in its output accuracy, or of the logger m easurem ent accuracy, can result in a combination of those errors. It is wort h investigating, therefore, the exact requirements of t he sensors you wish to use.
SDM-CVO4 4-Channel Current/Voltage Output Module range of -20 ° C to +50 ° C would be scaled so at -20C the output is 0 m V and at +50 ° C the output is 10000 m V.
Instruction Manual If the SDM-CVO4 loses power for any reas on, when power is restored the outputs will return to the default ‘off’ state. This will be held until the datalogger runs Instruction 103 again to update the output levels requi red.
