General safety warning
We strongly recommend that you read the general safety information below and
also the product-specific safety warning in the product manual before using your
product for the first time. If you do not use the equipment in the manner specified,
then you may impair the protection provided. This could result in damage to your
computer or injury to yourself or others.

Technical support
Maximum input range
The OMEGA Engineering web site at:
You can find the maximum input range and, where applicable, overload protection
range in the product manual installed on your computer. Always operate the
product within the specified input range. Operation outside the range of the
overload protection is likely to cause permanent damage to the unit.
also contains regularly updated technical support information. Both the product
manual and the web site contain phone/fax and e-mail contact information for our
technical support team.
Mains voltages
TC-08 data acquisition modules are not designed for use with mains voltages. To
measure mains we recommend the use of a differential probe that is specifically
designed for such measurements.

Installing the software and manual
Note: Please follow the software installation instructions below BEFORE connecting
The ground of every product is connected directly to the ground of your computer
through the interconnecting cable supplied. This is done in order to minimize
interference. Therefore, always use the supplied cable to attach the product to your
computer.
the hardware product.
3.1 Installing under Windows XP SP2 or Vista
As with most oscilloscopes and data acquisition modules, take care to avoid
connecting the ground input of the product to anything which may be at some
voltage other than ground. If in doubt, use a voltmeter to check that there is no
significant AC or DC voltage between the oscilloscope ground and the point to
which you intent to connect it. Failure to check may cause damage to the product
or computer and could cause injury to yourself or others.
1) Insert the TC-08 software CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2) If Autorun is enabled, the CD will start up automatically.
If so, go to step 6.
3) Press the Start button and select Run...
4) Type d:\TC-08 (where “d:” is your CD-ROM drive).
5) Press the Enter key.
6) Click the Install Application Software button.
7) The program will guide you through the installation.
With temperature converters, 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.
3.2 Installing USB products
You should assume that the product does not have a protective safety earth.
Incorrect configuration or use on voltages outside the maximum input range can be
hazardous.
USB products are supported only by Windows XP SP2 or Vista.
Install the software before connecting the product to the USB port for the first time
(see section 3.1)
Repairs
Once you have completed the software installation instructions in section 3.1, do
the following:
The unit contains no user-servicable parts. Repair or calibration of the unit
requires specialized test equipment and must be performed by OMEGA
Engineering.
1) Connect the USB cable between the product and one of the USB ports on your
computer.
2) Allow the computer to automatically detect and configure your hardware
product*.
For instructions on how to configure the TC-08 software, see the electronic
manual.
* If Windows displays a warning message about Windows Logo testing you must
click “Continue Anyway” to complete the installation and start using the hardware
product.
