7.1.6 Frequency Measurement (FREQ)
7-14
Additional error depending on the AC filter Integration time: 10 PLC
Additional error depending on the integration time AC filter: SLOW
Maximum allowable applied current
Between mA and COM terminals
3A (DC or ACrms)
Input protection By using the 3.15 A/250 V fast blow fuse which is compliant with
IEC60127-2 sheet1
The fuse can be changed on the rear panel.
7.1.6 Frequency Measurement (FREQ)
• 7451A, 7461A, 7461P
Measurement method Reciprocal
Input signal voltage range 100 mVrms to 700 Vrms (However, the input signal is restricted to the
maximum allowable applied voltage.)
