Safety

Introduction

The 

WARNING

 heading in the user documentation explains dangers that might result 

in personal injury or death. Always read the associated information very carefully before 

performing the indicated procedure.
The 

CAUTION

 heading in the user documentation explains hazards that could damage the 

instrument. Such damage may invalidate the warranty.

Instrumentation and accessories shall not be connected to humans. 
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the line cord and all test cables.

To maintain protection from electric shock and fire, replacement components in mains 

circuits — including the power transformer, test leads, and input jacks — must be 

purchased from Keithley Instruments. Standard fuses with applicable national safety 

approvals may be used if the rating and type are the same. The detachable mains 

power cord provided with the instrument may only be replaced with a similarly rated 

power cord. Other components that are not safety-related may be purchased from 

other suppliers as long as they are equivalent to the original component (note that 

selected parts should be purchased only through Keithley Instruments to maintain 

accuracy and functionality of the product). If you are unsure about the applicability of 

a replacement component, call a Keithley Instruments office for information.
Unless otherwise noted in product-specific literature, Keithley instruments are 

designed to operate indoors only, in the following environment: Altitude at or below 

2,000 m (6,562 ft); temperature 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F) ; and pollution 

 

degree 1 or 2. 

To clean an instrument, use a damp cloth or mild, water-based cleaner. Clean the 

exterior of the instrument only. Do not apply cleaner directly to the instrument or allow 

liquids to enter or spill on the instrument. Products that consist of a circuit board with 

no case or chassis (e.g., a data acquisition board for installation into a computer) 

should never require cleaning if handled according to instructions. If the board 

becomes contaminated and operation is affected, the board should be returned to the 

factory for proper cleaning/servicing. 

Safety precaution revision as of March 2016.

Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to the common side of the circuit 

under test or power line (earth) ground. Always make measurements with dry hands while 

standing on a dry, insulated surface capable of withstanding the voltage being measured.
When fuses are used in a product, replace with the same type and rating for continued 

protection against fire hazard.

For safety, instruments and accessories must be used in accordance with the operating 

instructions. If the instruments or accessories are used in a manner not specified in the 

operating instructions, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the instruments and accessories. Maximum 

signal levels are defined in the specifications and operating information and shown on the 

instrument panels, test fixture panels, and switching cards.
Chassis connections must only be used as shield connections for measuring circuits, NOT 

 

as protective earth (safety ground) connections.

If you are using a test fixture, keep the lid closed while power is applied to the device under 

test. Safe operation requires the use of a lid interlock.

If a          screw is present, connect it to protective earth (safety ground) using the wire  

recommended in the user documentation.

The           symbol on an instrument means caution, risk of danger. The user must refer to the 

operating instructions located in the user documentation in all cases where the symbol  

is marked on the instrument.
The           symbol on an instrument means caution, risk of electric shock. Use standard 

safety precautions to avoid personal contact with these voltages.
The          symbol on an instrument shows that the surface may be hot. Avoid personal 

contact to prevent burns.

The          symbol indicates a connection terminal to the equipment frame.

If this           symbol is on a product, it indicates that mercury is present in the display lamp. 

Please note that the lamp must be properly disposed of according to federal, state, and local 

laws.
