1)Section A, B and C are isolated from each other. The individual analogueinputs are isolated from each other. Due to protection devices in the analogue inputs the voltage measured from the common (C) terminals to any other terminals must not exceed 80V.2)The polarity at the input must be positive. The common terminalmust be connected to the negative.3)Input signals exceeding the maximum values MAY CAUSEPERMANENT DAMAGE In general the log upload time depend on the size of log and if full logis uploaded at every log upload. Log upload time can be reduced by only uploading data since last upload.The...
