14 Configuring the Agilent E8462A Multiplexer
Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD. Only qualified, service-trained personnel who
are aware of the hazards involved should install, configure, or
remove the Multiplexer Module. Disconnect all power sources
from the mainframe, the Terminal Cards, and installed modules
before installing or removing a module.
WARNING
When handling user wiring connected to the Terminal Card,
consider the highest voltage present accessible on any
terminal. Use only wire with an insulation rating greater than
the highest voltage which will be present on the Terminal Card.
Do not touch any circuit element connected to the Terminal
Card if any other connector to the Terminal Card is energized to
more than 30VACRMS or 60VDC.
Caution
MAXIMUM VOLTAGE/CURRENT. Maximum allowable voltage
per channel, terminal-to-terminal or terminal-to-chassis for the
Multiplexer is 200 VDC, 140 VACrms, or 200VACpeak. Maximum
switching current per channel is 500 mA (non-inductive).
Maximum transient voltage is 1200V peak. Exceeding any limit
may damage the Multiplexer Module.
Caution
WIRING THE TERMINAL CARD. When wiring to the terminal
connectors on the Agilent E8462A Terminal Card, be sure not to
exceed a 5mm strip back of insulation to prevent the possibility
of shorting to other wiring on adjacent terminals.
Caution
STATIC ELECTRICITY. Static electricity is a major cause of
component failure. To prevent damage to the electrical
components in the Multiplexer, observe anti-static techniques
whenever removing, configuring, and installing a module. The
Multiplexer is susceptible to static discharges. Do not install
the Multiplexer Module without its metal shield attached.
