Safety warning
We strongly recommend that you read the general safety information below before using your product
for the first time. If the equipment is not used in the manner specified, then the protection provided may
be impaired. This could result in damage to your computer and/or injury to yourself or others.
Maximum input range
The USB TC-08 is designed to measure voltages in the range of ±70mV. Any voltages in excess of
±30V may cause permanent damage to the unit.
Mains voltages
Pico products are not designed for use with mains voltages.
Safety grounding
The ground of every product is connected directly to the ground of your computer via the
interconnecting cable provided. This is done in order to minimise interference. If the PC (especially
laptop) is not grounded, reading stability cannot be guaranteed and it may be necessary to manually
ground the equipment.
As with most oscilloscopes and data loggers, you should take care to avoid connecting the inputs of
the product to anything which may be at a hazardous voltage. If in doubt, use a meter to check that there
is no hazardous AC or DC voltage. Failure to check may cause damage to the product and/or
computer and could cause injury to yourself or others.
Take great care when measuring temperatures near mains equipment. If a sensor is accidentally
connected to mains voltages, you risk damage to the converter or your computer and your computer
chassis may become live.
You should assume that the product does not have a protective safety earth. Incorrect configuration or
use of the device to measure voltages outside the maximum input range can be hazardous.
Repairs
The unit contains no user-serviceable parts: repair or calibration of the unit requires specialised test
equipment and must be performed by Pico Technology Limited or their authorised distributors.
