Connect to other instruments
The rear panel SET and MONITOR BNC jack shields are connected to chassis ground and the AC
power source ground using the power cord. Do not apply any voltage to the shields. The HIGH
VOLTAGE SHV port is also connected to chassis ground and cannot be floated above ground.
This unit contains hazardous voltages. Be absolutely certain that the high voltage is
completely discharged before removing or connecting the high-voltage cable. High-voltage
cables can store charge if they are disconnected from the supply while high voltage is
turned on, and can cause personal injury or death if not handled properly. Use only
connecting cables with a rated working voltage of 10 kV or higher (see the
Optional
accessories
section for more information).
Do not connect the high-voltage output to exposed circuitry. Any load connected to the high-
voltage output should be enclosed in a metal shield that is connected to safety earth ground
using #18 AWG or larger wire.
If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by Keithley Instruments, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
