5.1 Connecting Cables to Terminals

 

 CAUTION

 • Before connecting the calibrator to the device under test, cut off the power

to the device.

 • Do not apply any voltage or current exceeding the allowable voltage (300 V)

or current (120 mA).  Otherwise, there will be a danger of not only damage to
the instrument but also personal injury due to electrical shock.

 • Mistaking the H voltage input terminal for the mA current input terminal, and

vice versa, when wiring is extremely dangerous.  NEVER make this mistake.

 • The current input terminals are equipped with a built-in current input protec-

tion fuse.  Overcurrent input to the terminals will cause the fuse to blow.  If
the fuse is blown, replace it with one (P/N: A1501EF) with the specified rat-
ings.  For details on fuse replacement, see subsection 5.2.3, "Measuring DC
Current."
