EXTERNAL METER JACKS – These banana jacks allow direct access to the Body Impedance Network.  
This is used for connecting an external meter or for observing the wave shape of the leakage current with a 
scope. 
 

 

WARNING!  – 

Because these terminals are connected to the Body Impedance Network, hazardous 

voltages may exist on one or both jacks. 
 

WARNING!  – 

Any external equipment connected to these jacks must be electrically isolated from the 

AC line.  Failure to do so can result in damage to the LT-952 or the connected equipment. 
 
 

CAUTION!

  - The line 1 (Hot) conductor of the rear panel D.U.T. output connector is energized at all 

times when the LT-952 is connected to a power source! 
 

A.  VOLTAGE SELECT SWITCH – This switch configures the LT-952 to run off either 100-120 or 

200-240 VAC.  The switch must be set to the proper position before power is applied to the LT-
952. 

 

B.  D.U.T. OUTPUT CONNECTOR – This standard IEC 320 connector is designed to connect the 

LT-15 to the product under test.  This is normally used for products requiring 200-240 Volts or 
with products with different plug configurations.  Connection can be made to any plug 
configuration by using the appropriate cord-set. 

 

C.  METER FUSE – The meter fuse is designed to protect the LT-952’s sensitive meter 

measurement circuit from damage in cases of overload. 

 

D.  LINE FUSE – The line fuse protects the LT-952 from power surges and from inadvertent 

connection to a 240 Volt source when the Voltage Selector Switch is set to 115 Volts.
