  • Page 12 In particular, any repair or soldering work on motherboards (replacement of components, apart from EPROMs) is prohibited. When exchanging com­ plete modules, use only original parts from HBM. The amplifier system and/or individual components are delivered from the factory with a fixed hardware and software configuration. Changes can only be made within the possibilities documented in the operating manuals.
  • Page 13 Do not operate the device if the mains lead is damaged. If an amplifier channel is removed, the module must be sealed with a blind panel. Only operate built-in devices once they are installed in the housing pro­ vided. MGCplus A0534-30.0 HBM: public...

  • Page 14: Electromagnetic Compatibility

    The insulation resistance of the connecting cables (v50V) must be at least 350V(AC). Electromagnetic compatibility The MGCplus device has been tested based on EMC product standard EN 61326-1:2013. This standard includes definitions of limit values and test levels for various electromagnetic environments.

  • Page 30: Maintenance And Cleaning

    Introduction Maintenance and cleaning Maintenance and cleaning The MGCplus system devices are maintenance-free. Please note the follow­ ing points when cleaning the housing: CAUTION Disconnect the mains plug from the socket before cleaning. S Clean the housing with a soft, slightly damp (not wet!) cloth. You should never use solvents, since this may damage the labeling on the front panel and the display field.

  • Page 31: Connection

    Voltage adaptation to a 115V/230V network occurs automatically. The power pack fan is temperature-controlled and is automatically switched on only when necessary. If the MGCplus is connected with the mains cable included with delivery, a Grounding safe and reliable connection via the protective conductor is ensured.

    For cable lengths >50m, a resistor of half the value of the bridge resistance (RB/2) must be activated on the transducer instead of each feedback bridge. If the transducers are calibrated in a 6-wire configuration, resistors must be activated directly into the sense lead. MGCplus A0534-30.0 HBM: public...

    Communication processor and multi-client mode When a communication processor is delivered from the factory, it is only possible to connect one PC to the MGCplus system. If you want to connect several PCs to the MGCplus system the "Multi-client" option must be activated.
  • Page 280 System Interface If two or more PCs are to be used with an MGCplus it is essential for "MultiClient" to be activated. While the measured values of one client are being recorded, none of the other clients can make changes to the recording of measured data. External clients can only reset the time channel.
