selection. Refer to the Safely connect to instruments topic for instructions on
selecting the correct line voltage and fuse.
HIGH VOLTAGE
output
port
The
HIGH VOLTAGE
output port is an SHV female port that connects the
Model 2290-10 source output to external equipment. SHV-to-SHV and SHV-
to-MHV mated high voltage cables are available.
Analog I/O
The
SET
BNC jack is an input connection for analog control of the high
voltage output. The
MONITOR
BNC jacks provide voltage and current
monitor signals.
GPIB
The 24-pin IEEE-488 STANDARD PORT (
GPIB
) allows computer control of
the Model 2290-10.
RS-232
The RS-232 serial port allows computer control of the Model 2290-10.
INTERLOCK
port
The contacts for an external safety circuit intended to prevent personnel
from contacting high voltage. The interlock circuit must be engaged to allow
the instrument to output high voltage.
Line cord
The Model 2290-10 uses a detachable, three-wire power cord for connection to the power source and
to a safety earth ground through a grounded AC outlet. Only use the power cord that's provided with
your instrument, or an equivalent adequately rated power cord.
The exposed metal parts of the instrument are connected to the outlet ground through the
line cord to provide protection against electrical shock. Always use an AC outlet that has a
properly connected safety ground.
