Installing the Interlock Circuit
The interlock circuit is a simple electric circuit, as shown in Figure 3-11 . The circuit
electrically opens when an access door is opened, and closes when the door is
closed.
B2900 cannot apply high voltages over

42 V when the Digital I/O interlock
terminal is open. To perform high voltage measurements, the B2900 interlock
terminal must be connected to the interlock circuit installed in the measurement
environment such as the shielding box. The interlock circuit is important and
necessary to prevent electrical shock when the user touches the measurement
terminals.
WARNING Hazardous voltage, instrument maximum output voltage may appear at the
High Force, High Sense, and Guard terminals if the fixture cover is closed.
To prevent electrical shock, do
not expose these lines.
Une tension dangereuse, une tension de sortie maximale de l'appareil peut
apparaître aux bornes High Force, High Sense et Guard si le couvercle de
l'équipement est fermé. Afin d’éviter toute décharge électrique, n’exposez pas
ces lignes.
