6. Connecting probes/switch
13
Observe the following points when connecting the probes to the
data logger and to the measurement points:
Observe poles of plug.
Insert the plugs firmly into the connections to guarantee that
they are properly in place. Force should not be used.
Ensure that the plugs are firmly attached to the data logger or
that the connections are in place with a blind plug.
Ensure that the probe is positioned properly to avoid disturbing
influences on the measurement.
testo 177-T3:
Use the enclosed twin-wire cable to connect the switch (door
contact). Connect a potential-free button or switch to it.
Measuring rate
is activated if the contact is open electrically i.e. if
both cables are not connected with one another.
Measuring rate Door
if the contact is closed electrically i.e. if both
cables are connected with one another (See page 24).
The data logger requires slightly more energy if the contact is
electrically closed. It is recommended to select the contact so
that it is electrically open most of the time.
testo 177-T4:
Ensure that each respective configured probe is connected to
the socket (via testo ComSoft software). The numbers of the
connections are printed on the housing!
Warning!
False connection!
Electric shock! Damage to data logger!
Do not apply electrical signal to cable and avoid contact with live parts.
Only one potential-free contact should be connected.
