Maximum cable length: 3 meters.

NOTE!: Always use a standard shielded USB interconnect cable (Standard Host/Device Shielded USB Cable). Unshielded cables can cause communication errors.

NOTE!: The USB connection is galvanically isolated from the mains power supply and other high voltages inside the drive. However, the USB connection is not isolated from the protective earth (PE). Use an isolated laptop to connect to the USB connector or a desktop computer connected to the same protective earth (PE) as the drive.
