Category: Information technology equipment.
IOTech, Incorporated declares under sole responsibility that the product
USB-1616HS-2
to which this declaration relates is in conformity with the relevant provisions of the following standards or other
documents:
EU EMC Directive 89/336/EEC: Electromagnetic Compatibility, EN 61326 (1997) Amendment 1 (1998)
Emissions: Group 1, Class A
EN 55022 (1993)/CISPR 22: Radiated and Conducted emissions.
Immunity: EN61326, Annex A
IEC 61000-4-2 (1995): Electrostatic Discharge immunity, Criteria B.
IEC 61000-4-3 (1995): Radiated Electromagnetic Field immunity Criteria A.
IEC 61000-4-4 (1995): Electric Fast Transient Burst immunity Criteria A.
IEC 61000-4-6 (1996): Radio Frequency Common Mode immunity Criteria A.
IEC 61000-4-11 (1994): Voltage Dips, Interruption immunity.
To maintain the safety, emission, and immunity standards of this declaration, the following conditions must be
met.
The host computer, peripheral equipment, power sources, and expansion hardware must be CE compliant.
Equipment must be operated in a controlled electromagnetic environment as defined by Standards EN
61326:1998, or IEC 61326:1998.
Shielded wires must be used for all I/Os and must be less than 3 meters (9.75 feet) in length. Clips must be used with
the AI-EXP48.
The host computer must be properly grounded.
The host computer must be USB2.0 compliant and IOtech USB cables (CA-179-x) must be used.
If using the USB-1616HS Series device in a high RF environment (3 to 10 V/m), then a clamp-on ferrite (IOtech p/n L-
8-1) may be needed on the USB cable, otherwise communication may be disrupted.
A protective ESD wrist strap should be used when connecting or disconnecting leads from screw terminal blocks.
Alternatively, unplug the unit from the host computer when making connections. Protective housings (IOtech p/n
CN-241-12) can be placed over the removable terminal blocks to protect signals from ESD during operation.
If external DC power is needed, a TR-2U power supply must be used.
Note: Data acquisition equipment may exhibit noise or increased offsets when exposed to high RF fields
(>3V/m) or transients.
Declaration of Conformity based on tests conducted by Smith Electronics, Inc., Cleveland, OH 44141, USA in
December, 2005. Test records are outlined in Smith Electronics Test Report “Personal Daq/3000 Series with
PDQ30 Expansion Module” and “PDAQ3000-PDQ30 Addenda”.
We hereby declare that the equipment specified conforms to the above Directives and Standards.
