Safety Precautions
Observe these general safety precautions during all phases of
instrument operation, service, and repair. Failure to comply with
these precautions or with specic warnings in the user’s manual
violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended
instrument use. Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc. assumes no liability
for customer failure to comply with these requirements.
The 240 Series input module protects the operator and
surrounding area from electric shock or burn, mechanical
hazards, excessive temperature, and spread of re from the
instrument. Environmental conditions outside of the conditions
below may pose a hazard to the operator and surrounding area.
Indoor use
Altitude to 2000 m
Temperature for safe operation: -20 °C to 50 °C
Maximum relative humidity: 95% non-condensing
Power supply voltage uctuations not to exceed
±10% of the nominal voltage
Overvoltage category II
Pollution degree 2
IP20: not protected against harmful ingress of water
Ground the instrument
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument is equipped with a
grounded connection to the DIN rail. Connect the DIN rail to an
electrical ground.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of ammable gases or
fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment
constitutes a denite safety hazard.
Do not substitute parts or modify instrument
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized
modication to the instrument. Return the instrument to an
authorized Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc. representative for service and
repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
Cleaning
Do not submerge instrument. Clean only with a damp cloth,
exterioronly.
Installation
When installing the instrument, ensure it is mounted securely on the
DIN rail.
Improper Use
If the instrument is used in a manner that is not specied by Lake
Shore, the safety protections provided by the instrument are no
longer guaranteed, and may be impaired.
Refer to the Model 240 user’s manual for more safety information.

Unpacking
1. Inspect shipping containers for external damage
before opening them.
2. Photograph any container that has signicant
damage before opening it.
3. Inspect all items for both visible and hidden damage
that occurred during shipment. If there is visible
damage to the contents of the container, contact the
shipping company and Lake Shore immediately.
NOTE: Procedures vary slightly with shipping
companies. Keep all damaged shipping materials and
contents until instructed to either return or discard
them.
4. Open the shipping container and keep the container
and shipping materials until all contents have been
accounted for.
Packing list
Items included with Model 240 input module:
240 Series input module
2 or 8 sensor input connectors, 5-pin terminal plug
connectors
1 power and communication connector, 4-pin
terminal plug connector
1 or 4 DIN rail backplane connector, 5-pin 35 mm DIN
rail connectors
NOTE: For further information, see section 3.2.1 of the
Model 240 user’s manual.

Power and Communication
Connection
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument is equipped
with a grounded connection to the DIN rail. Connect the
DIN rail to an electrical ground.
Power
The typical power supply is 24 VDC, but can range
from 21.6 VDC to 26.4 VDC. The power supply should be
capable of supplying at least 100 mA per module.
PROFIBUS interface
The PROFIBUS-DP communication integrates with
distributed PLC-based control architectures.
Sensor Input Connection
For best results, voltage leads (V+ and V-) and current
leads (I+ and I-) should be twisted together. The twisted
pairs of voltage and current leads should then be
covered with a braided or foil shield that is connected
to the shield pin of the instrument. This type of cable is
available through local electronics suppliers. Instrument
specications are given assuming 3 m
(10 ft) of sensor cable. Longer cables can be used, but
environmental conditions may degrade accuracy and
noise specications.
The sensor inputs are isolated from earth ground to
reduce noise pickup. The shield should not be connected
to earth ground at the modules. One shield should
be connected to an earth ground near the sensors.
Connecting at more than one point will cause a ground
loop, which adds noise to the measurement.

6Model 240 Quick Start Guide
NOTE: Make sure to properly seat connectors.
When removing a sensor, use a screwdriver to gently
remove the connector.
USB Connection
MeasureLINK™ utility
Lake Shore provides a utility called MeasureLINK™,
which makes loading temperature curves into the
Model 240 a very simple process. The program
congures the module and copies curves from
formatted les into the Model 240.
Congure the USB/PC connection
The Model 240 is fully-congurable through direct USB
connection.
NOTE: After conguring the USB, disconnect it from the
computer before beginning PLC communication.
Physical Installation
The 240 Series input module has been specically
designed to mount on a DIN rail. To minimize shock
hazard, the instrument is equipped with a grounded
connection to the DIN rail. Mount the input module
vertically, and connect the DIN rail to an electrical
ground. If the input module is mounted in an equipment
rack or enclosure, ensure that the ambient temperature
does not exceed the instrument rating.
NOTE: For best noise and accuracy performance, install the
input module in a grounded metallic enclosure.
Power and PROFIBUS
connections may be
shared between
modules by using
the optional
backplane
connectors supplied
with the module.

Startup
Once you have placed the Model 240 in its intended
location, you can begin setting up the instrument. The
steps that follow will take you through to displaying
measurements. This is just the beginning of what is
possible with the Model 240. For additional features,
please see the Model 240 user’s manual.
Basic operation
1. Connect a power adapter to the input module.
2. Connect the USB connector to the computer using a
USB cable.
3. Install and run the MeasureLINK™ utility.

8Model 240 Quick Start Guide
4. Select the input module from the drop down menu and click Connect.
5. Click the Input at the left of the screen to congure the sensor settings.

9Model 240 Quick Start Guide
6. Load the sensor calibration le (under Sensor setup) that matches the sensor by navigating to the
appropriate le.

10 Model 240 Quick Start Guide
Type of sensor
Custom curve Cernox
Standard curve Platinum/Diode
No curve Simulated
If you have a custom calibration curve to load, choose Custom Curve and load your le (the Model 240
supports the .340 le format).
If a sensor with a standard curve is connected, choose Standard Curve and select the curve from the drop
down menu.
If you aren’t using a curve, the module will continue to monitor sensor units.
7. Once the curve is loaded, rename the Input Label (if desired).
8. Turn Sensor Excitation to ON. (Turn Sensor Excitation to off to disable any unused inputs.)
9. Under Operating mode, select High accuracy or High speed.
NOTE: The Current Reversal option is available if a resistive sensor is connected, and the High accuracy mode is selected.
NOTE: High speed ID is only available for the Model 240-2P.
10. Under Reporting units, select either Sensor units or a temperature unit.
11. Live readings from your connected sensors should now be displayed at the right of the screen, as well as on the
front OLED display of the 240 Series input module.
