Connecting Measuring Leads
Connecting Measuring Leads
Connect measuring leads of bipolar banana plug terminal to the input terminal (binding
post terminal) when measuring the voltage on the 701261 (UNIVERSAL), 701262
(UNIVERSAL (AAF)), or 701265 (TEMP/HPV) as shown below.

WARNING
• When connecting the item to be measured, make sure to turn OFF the power to
the item. Connecting or disconnecting the measuring lead while the item being
measured is turned ON is very dangerous.
• To prevent electric shock, make sure to use the measuring lead suitable for the
voltage range being measured on the input terminals of the 701261
(UNIVERSAL), 701262 (UNIVERSAL (AAF)), or 701265 (TEMP/HPV).
• Applying a voltage exceeding the value indicated below may damage the input
section. If the frequency is above 1 kHz, damage may occur even when the
voltage is below this value.
For 701261, 701262, or 701265
Maximum input voltage (across the input terminals, H and L
1
, at a frequency
of 1 kHz or less)
42 V (DC+ACpeak)
Maximum allowable common mode voltage (across the input terminals, H or
L, and earth
2
, at a frequency of 1 kHz or less)
42 V (DC+ACpeak) (CAT I and CAT II, 30 Vrms)
• Do not connect a plug-in type terminal with exposed conducting parts to the
input terminal to be used as a measuring lead. It is very dangerous, if the
connector comes loose.
