Safety
Shield
Each 2602 chassis is connected to chassis
earth ground through the power cord.
WARNING
Connect metal safety shield
to Safety Earth Ground using
#18 AWG or larger wire.
Note
On the 2602-1, connect Channel A
LO to the Chassis at the rear panel.
LOs for the other channels must be
isolated from Chassis.
NOTE Each stacked channel adds approximately 100
μ
A of common mode
current that is seen by the channels below it. Therefore, in the
example above, Model 2602-1 Chan A will measure approximately
100
μ
A x 3 = 300
μ
A higher than Model 2602-2 Chan B. Similarly,
Model 2602-1 Chan B will measure approximately 100
μ
A x 2 =
200
μ
A higher than Model 2602-2 Chan B. The most accurate
measurement of actual current flowing through the DUT will be
obtained from Model 2602-2 Chan B.
