Device connections
Using the supplied cables, make connections from the output terminals of the instruments to the input
terminals of the two RPMs. Connect the output terminals of the RPMs to the diode in a 4-wire
configuration to provide the best measurement accuracy and eliminate the lead resistance effects on
I-V and C-V measurements.
Hazardous voltages may be present on all output and guard terminals. To prevent electrical
shock that could cause injury or death, never connect or disconnect from the 4200A-SCS
while the output is on.
To prevent electric shock, test connections must be configured such that the user cannot
come in contact with test leads, conductors, or any device under test (DUT) that is in contact
with the conductors. It is good practice to disconnect DUTs from the instrument before
powering up the instrument. Safe installation requires proper shields, barriers, and grounding
to prevent contact with test lead and conductors.
