lowing procedures to add or replace input modules, or to remove them from the instrument.
2.1 Install an input module
Preparations
• To avoid electric shock accident, before removing or replacing an input mod-
ule, confirm that the instrument is turned off and that the connection cords are
disconnected.
• The mounting screws must be firmly tightened or the input module may not
perform to specifications, or may even fail.
When an input module is not used
• To avoid the danger of electric shock, never operate the instrument with an
input module removed. To use the instrument after removing an input module,
install a blank panel over the opening of the removed module.
• To avoid damaging input modules, do not touch the input module connectors
on this instrument.
• Measurements made without a blank panel installed may fail to meet specifica-
tions because of temperature instability within the instrument.
For information on analog channel accuracy when using logic channels, see "7.9
