Safety
Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to the common side of the circuit under
test or power line (earth) ground. Always make measurements with dry hands while standing on
a dry, insulated surface capable of withstanding the voltage being measured.
For safety, instruments and accessories must be used in accordance with the operating
instructions. If the instruments or accessories are used in a manner not speci
fi
ed in the
operating instructions, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the instruments and accessories. Maximum signal
levels are de
fi
ned in the speci
fi
cations and operating information and shown on the instrument
panels, test
fi
xture panels, and switching cards.
When fuses are used in a product, replace with the same type and rating for continued
protection against
fi
re hazard.
Chassis connections must only be used as shield connections for measuring circuits, NOT as
protective earth (safety ground) connections.
If you are using a test
fi
xture, keep the lid closed while power is applied to the device under test.
Safe operation requires the use of a lid interlock.
If a screw is present, connect it to protective earth (safety ground) using the wire
recommended in the user documentation.
The symbol on an instrument means warning, risk of electric shock. Use standard safety
precautions to avoid personal contact with these voltages.
The symbol indicates a connection terminal to the equipment frame.
The symbol on an instrument means caution, risk of hazard. The user must refer to the
operating instructions located in the user documentation in all cases where the symbol is
marked on the instrument.
The symbol on an instrument shows that the surface may be hot. Avoid personal contact to
prevent burns.
If this symbol is on a product, it indicates that mercury is present in the display lamp. Please
note that the lamp must be properly disposed of according to federal, state, and local laws.
The
WARNING
heading in the user documentation explains hazards that might result
in personal injury or death. Always read the associated information very carefully before
performing the indicated procedure.
The
CAUTION
heading in the user documentation explains hazards that could damage the
instrument. Such damage may invalidate the warranty.
The
CAUTION
heading with the symbol in the user documentation explains hazards that
could result in moderate or minor injury or damage the instrument. Always read the associated
information very carefully before performing the indicated procedure. Damage to the instrument
may invalidate the warranty.
Instrumentation and accessories shall not be connected to humans.
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the line cord and all test cables.
To maintain protection from electric shock and
fi
re, replacement components in mains circuits
— including the power transformer, test leads, and input jacks — must be purchased from
Keithley. Standard fuses with applicable national safety approvals may be used if the rating and
type are the same. The detachable mains power cord provided with the instrument may only be
replaced with a similarly rated power cord. Other components that are not safety-related may
be purchased from other suppliers as long as they are equivalent to the original component
(note that selected parts should be purchased only through Keithley to maintain accuracy
and functionality of the product). If you are unsure about the applicability of a replacement
component, call a Keithley o
ffi
ce for information.
Unless otherwise noted in product-speci
fi
c literature, Keithley instruments are designed to
operate indoors only, in the following environment: Altitude at or below 2,000 m (6,562 ft);
temperature 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F); and pollution degree 1 or 2.
To clean an instrument, use a cloth dampened with deionized water or mild, water-based
cleaner. Clean the exterior of the instrument only. Do not apply cleaner directly to the instrument
or allow liquids to enter or spill on the instrument. Products that consist of a circuit board with
no case or chassis (e.g., a data acquisition board for installation into a computer) should never
require cleaning if handled according to instructions. If the board becomes contaminated and
operation is a
ff
ected, the board should be returned to the factory for proper cleaning/servicing.
