System clock accuracy

All signals generated or measured by the COMPANO 100 test sets refer to a common internal time base that is specified as follows:

CharacteristicSpecification
Frequency drift (over time)< ± 1 ppm/year (± 0.0001 %)
Frequency drift (over temperature range)< ± 0.5 ppm (± 0.00005 %)
Frequency resolution (signal generator)1 mHz

hidden

Synchronization of devices

Using FLEX it is possible to synchronize two devices by programming a sequence step that waits for a binary input signal, and then continue with another sequence step using absolute phase setting. The tolerance across devices to switch sequence steps on binary triggers is 0.1 ms. At 50 Hz or 60 Hz this results in a phase error of about 2 °.

In case of questions, contact OMICRON's Technical Support (→ Support).

hidden

Communication Ports

Ethernet port ETH

The Ethernet port ETH in the USB and Ethernet compartment at the test set's front panel is reserved for future use. Do not attempt to connect the device.

USB port

The internal COMPANO 100 software supports FAT32-formatted USB devices, only. FAT32-formatted USB devices provide maximum compatibility across all devices with a USB port. USB 3.0/USB 3.1 memory sticks are not supported. They may work, though, if they are compatible to USB 2.0.

If COMPANO 100 does not detect your USB stick, try a different USB 2.0-compatible stick.

If USB stick contains multiple partitions, COMPANO will always access the first partition, only.

The USB Port is a standard USB 2.0 Host Port, providing up to 500 mA. Most mobile devices can be charged via this port but may need a longer time until they are fully charged.

We recommend you use the Eject device feature before you remove the USB stick from the test set.

NOTICE
Equipment damage or loss of data possible
  • We recommend not to connect other USB devices to this USB port than memory sticks. If they do not have a FAT32 file system, they may not work properly, and you could experience a data loss.

EMERGENCY CONTACT: In case of chemical emergencies (spill, leak, fire, exposure or accident), call OMICRON's Technical Support at + 43 59495 4444.

2. Hazards identification
The rechargeable lithium-ion battery described in this Material - Safety - Data Sheet (MSDS) is sealed gastight and non-hazardous under normal handling and use. There is no physical danger of ignition or explosion and chemical danger of hazardous material leakage during normal use. If exposed to a fire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, added electric stress by miss-use, the gas release vent will be operated and hazardous materials may be released.

Since electrolyte is flammable liquid, it should not be close to fire. It may cause severe eye irritation or dryness of the skin. Breathing of its mist, vapour or fume may irritate nose, throat and lungs. Exposure of electrolyte material in the area which contains water may generate hydrofluoric acid, which can cause immediate skin burns or severe eye burns. The ingestion of it can cause serious chemical burns of mouth, oesophagus and gastrointestinal tract.

4. First aid measures
For the first aider: always mind your self-protection!

In case of battery breakage or burst, evacuate employees from the contaminated area and ensure maximal ventilation in order to break-up corrosive gas, smoke and unpleasant odors. It such an event occurs, take the following actions:


Inhalation:Escaping gas may cause respiratory problems. Ensure sufficient supply of fresh air. In case of persistent symptoms, consult a doctor.
Skin Contact:Skin contact with battery fluids may cause skin irritations. Thoroughly clean skin with water and soap. In case of persistent symptoms, consult a doctor.
Eye Contact:Eye contact with battery fluids causes irritations. Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical treatment by an eye specialist.
Ingestion:In case of ingesting electrolyte, thoroughly wash out your mouth with water, and drink plenty of water. Obtain immediate medical attention in any case.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Fire extinguishing agent

  • Fire extinguisher fire protection class: D (dry powder).
  • Cold water, dry powder or pyrobubbles in large amount are applicable. Use a metal fire extinction powder or dry sand if only a few cells are involved.
For safety reasons, do not use a water jet as extinguishing media.
Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters

To avoid contact with irritant fluids, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit. Evacuate all persons from the immediate area of fire. If possible, remove cell(s) from firefighting area. If heated above 125 °C, cell(s) can explode/vent. A cell is not flammable but internal organic material will burn if the cell is incinerated.

Do not re-enter the area until it has been adequately purged of fire vapour and extinguishing agent.

6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

  • Use protective clothing.
  • Evacuate all persons from the immediate area until the fumes dissipate.
  • Do not breathe vapours or touch liquids with bare hands.
Environmental precautions

  • Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater.
  • Methods for cleaning up: pick up remnants mechanically rather than manually, and send them off for disposal.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

  • Cell damage may cause leaked electrolytes. Seal the damaged cell in an airtight plastic bag, and add dry sand, chalk powder (CaCO3) or vermiculite.
  • Clean up the leaked electrolyte fluid with an absorbent cloth. If there is a lot of leaked electrolyte, you should wear protection clothes, a gas mask for organic gases, safety goggles and safety gauntlets. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
