Definition of typical, minimum and maximum values
Minimum and maximum values for specified limiting and safety conditions have to be understood as such as
well as values shown in “typical” graphs.
On the other hand, measured values are part of a statistical distribution that can be specified by an interval
with upper and lower limits and a probability for measured values to lie within this interval.
Unless otherwise stated (e.g. “100 % tested”), the LEM definition for such intervals designated with “min” and
“max” is that the probability for values of samples to lie in this interval is 99,73 %.
For a normal (Gaussian) distribution, this corresponds to an interval between −3 sigma and +3 sigma.
If “typical” values are not obviously mean or average values, those values are defined to delimit intervals with
a probability of 68,27 %, corresponding to an interval between −sigma and +sigma for a normal distribution.
Typical, minimum and maximum values are determined during the initial characterization of the product.

Ignoring the warnings can lead to serious injury and/or cause damage! The electric measuring signal
conditioner may only be installed and put into operation by qualified personnel that have received an
appropriate training. The corresponding national regulations shall be observed during installation and
operation of the signal conditioner and any electrical conductor. The signal conditioner shall be used
in electric/electronic equipment with respect to applicable standards and safety requirements and in
accordance with all the related systems and components manufacturers’ operating instructions.
The product must be powered by a limited power source. The product shall be operated with Rogowski
Coil compliant with IEC 61010-2-032. Consistency of measurements during maintenance operations shall
be checked. Consistency of measurement during commissioning and maintenance shall be checked with
suitable means (clamp-on ammeter). Product shall not saturate .
Caution, possibility of electric shock
When operating the signal conditioner, certain parts next to the signal conditioner may carry hazardous
live voltage. The user shall ensure to take all measures necessary to be protected against electrical shock.
Certain parts may contain conducting parts that shall not be accessible after installation. A protective
enclosure or additional insulation barrier may be necessary. Installation and maintenance shall be done with
the main power supply disconnected except if there are no hazardous live parts in or in close proximity to the
system and if the applicable national regulations are fully observed.
Safe and trouble-free operation of this signal conditioner can only be guaranteed if transport, storage and
installation are carried out correctly and operation and maintenance are carried out with care. The signal
conditioner shall not be opened or modified. If not working, the signal conditioner shall be replaced by an
equivalent device. To avoid electrical burn, electric shock or arc flash, do not install Rogowski coils on or
remove them from hazardous live conductors. Any connection to the product shall fulfil the requirements for
safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuits.
