Wiring Precautions
WARNING
This product generates high voltage. Be careful of electric shock and electric
discharge. To prevent electric shock, remove rings, watches, and other metallic
accessories and jewelry before operation.
Before Wiring
• Be sure to turn OFF the GS610 output when connecting the DUT.
• Ground the instrument before connecting the instrument to the target device.
The power cord that comes with the instrument is a three-prong type power
cord. Insert the power cord into a grounded three-prong outlet.
Wiring
• Only use lead wires whose conductive parts are covered for connecting to the
output terminals. Exposed conductive parts can lead to electric shock.
• Do not use lead wires whose conductive parts are exposed due to tears in the
insulation or broken cables as they may lead to a short circuit or electric shock.
• Use lead wires that have safety terminals that cover their conductive parts.
Using a terminal with bare conductive parts (such as a banana plug) can be
dangerous if the terminal comes loose.
• Do not connect a voltage source when generating voltage or a current source
when generating current. Incorrect connection may damage the GS610.
• Do not exceed a load that exceeds the maximum output indicated below
between the OUTPUT Hi and OUTPUT Lo or SENSE Hi and SENSE Lo
terminals.

• The maximum allowable voltage between the case and each terminal is
±
250
Vpeak. Applying a voltage exceeding this value can damage the GS610.
• Keep the voltage that is generated between OUTPUT Hi and SENSE Hi as well
as OUTPUT Lo and SENSE Lo less than or equal to
±
1 Vpeak.
• When making a four-terminal connection, be careful that the connection to the
SENSE terminal does not get cut. If the voltage is not sensed correctly,
abnormal voltage will appear between OUTPUT Hi and OUTPUT Lo terminals.
• When making a two-terminal connection, use the OUTPUT terminals. If you use
the SENSE terminals, the current flows through the SENSE line causing
damage to the GS610.
• Use the accessories of this product within the rated range of each accessory
(see page v). When using several accessories together, use them within the
specification range of the accessory with the lowest rating.
