Introduction

Safety precautions

The following safety precautions should be observed before using this product and any 

associated instrumentation. Although some instruments and accessories would normally 

be used with nonhazardous voltages, there are situations where hazardous conditions may 

be present.

This product is intended for use by qualified personnel who recognize shock hazards and 

are familiar with the safety precautions required to avoid possible injury. Read and follow 

all installation, operation, and maintenance information carefully before using the product. 

Refer to the user documentation for complete product specifications.
If the product is used in a manner not specified, the protection provided by the product 

warranty may be impaired.
The types of product users are:

Responsible body 

is the individual or group responsible for the use and maintenance 

of equipment, for ensuring that the equipment is operated within its specifications and 

operating limits, and for ensuring that operators are adequately trained.

Operators

 use the product for its intended function. They must be trained in electrical safety 

procedures and proper use of the instrument. They must be protected from electric shock 

and contact with hazardous live circuits.

Maintenance personnel 

perform routine procedures on the product to keep it operating 

properly, for example, setting the line voltage or replacing consumable materials. 

Maintenance procedures are described in the user documentation. The procedures 

explicitly state if the operator may perform them. Otherwise, they should be performed only 

by service personnel.

Service personnel 

are trained to work on live circuits, perform safe installations, and repair 

products. Only properly trained service personnel may perform installation and service 

procedures.
Keithley Instruments products are designed for use with electrical signals that are 

measurement, control, and data I/O connections, with low transient overvoltages, and 

must not be directly connected to mains voltage or to voltage sources with high transient 

overvoltages. Measurement Category II (as referenced in IEC 60664) connections require 

protection for high transient overvoltages often associated with local AC mains connections. 

Certain Keithley measuring instruments may be connected to mains. These instruments will be 

marked as category II or higher.
Unless explicitly allowed in the specifications, operating manual, and instrument labels, do not 

connect any instrument to mains.

Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present. Lethal voltage may be present on 

cable connector jacks or test fixtures. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) states 

that a shock hazard exists when voltage levels greater than 30 V 

RMS

, 42.4 V peak, or 

 

60 VDC are present. A good safety practice is to expect that hazardous voltage is present in 

any unknown circuit before measuring. 
Operators of this product must be protected from electric shock at all times. The responsible 

body must ensure that operators are prevented access and/or insulated from every connection 

point. In some cases, connections must be exposed to potential human contact. Product 

operators in these circumstances must be trained to protect themselves from the risk of electric 

shock. If the circuit is capable of operating at or above 1000 V, no conductive part of the circuit 

may be exposed.

Do not connect switching cards directly to unlimited power circuits. They are intended to be 

used with impedance-limited sources. NEVER connect switching cards directly to AC mains. 

When connecting sources to switching cards, install protective devices to limit fault current and 

voltage to the card. 
Before operating an instrument, ensure that the line cord is connected to a properly-grounded 

power receptacle. Inspect the connecting cables, test leads, and jumpers for possible wear, 

cracks, or breaks before each use.
When installing equipment where access to the main power cord is restricted, such as rack 

mounting, a separate main input power disconnect device must be provided in close proximity 

to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator.
For maximum safety, do not touch the product, test cables, or any other instruments while 

power is applied to the circuit under test. ALWAYS remove power from the entire test system 

and discharge any capacitors before: connecting or disconnecting cables or jumpers, installing 

or removing switching cards, or making internal changes, such as installing or removing 

jumpers.
