Introduction
The Model 2290-5 can generate hazardous voltages. It is intended for use with a test fixture or in a
test system that has safety mechanisms in place to prevent an operator from accessing these
voltages.
This section describes how to use the Model 2290-5 to test a device with a custom test fixture or
system.
High voltage safety precautions
Make sure that you read and observe the following high voltage safety precautions before operating
the Model 2290-5.
The Model 2290-5 is capable of sourcing hazardous live high voltages that can cause
personal injury or death due to electric shock. This unit should be used only by qualified
personnel who recognize the dangers of high voltages.
Make certain that the source is turned off and that high voltage is completely discharged
before removing the high-voltage cable. High-voltage cables can store charge if they are
disconnected from the supply while the high voltage is on. The charge on the cable can
cause injury or damage even after the cable is disconnected from the unit.
The Model 2290-5 is provided with an interlock circuit that must be engaged to allow high
voltage output. The interlock helps facilitate safe operation of the equipment in a test
system. Bypassing the interlock could expose the operator to hazardous voltages that could
result in personal injury or death.
