WARNING The following information is intended for qualified service
personnel. Do not make connections unless qualified to do so. To
prevent electric shock that could result in serious injury or death,
observe the following safety precautions:
• Before removing or installing a card in the mainframe, make
sure the mainframe is turned off and disconnected from line
power.
• Before making or breaking connections, make sure power is
removed from all external circuitry.
• Do not connect signals that may exceed the maximum
specifications of the model or external wiring. Complete
specifications for each card are included on the documentation
that came with the card. Please check the Keithley Instruments
website at
0www.keithley.com for the latest updates to the
specifications.
• All wiring must be rated for the maximum voltage in the
system. For example, if 300 V is applied to the backplane
connector, all card wiring must be rated for 300 V.
