WARNING
The procedures in this section are intended only for qualified
service personnel. Do not perform these procedures unless you
are qualified to do so. Failure to recognize and observe normal
safety precautions could result in personal injury or death.
Handling precautions
To maintain high-impedance isolation, be careful when handling the S46/S46T/S46L to avoid
contamination from foreign materials such as body oils. Such contamination can reduce isolation
resistance. To avoid possible contamination:
•
Do not touch connector insulators.
•
Operate the switch controller in a clean environment. If the instrument becomes
contaminated, it should be thoroughly cleaned as explained in
System configuration
Layout
The S46, S46T, and S46L front panels are separately illustrated in
shows the rear panel for all three models.
All systems feature:
Connectors:
•
Relay input and output connectors (see front panel)
•
Power line receptacle (see rear panel)
•
