The high voltage splitter should be connected to the high voltage input
terminal on the rear panel of the SC6540 main. This allows for a high
voltage input cable from the host instrument and an output terminal for
connection of high voltage to the next Scanner.
If more than one SC6540 secondary is used, then an additional splitter is
needed. All SC6540 Scanners in the system should be configured with a
high voltage splitter except for the last one in the sequence (Amount of
Splitters Needed = Total # of SC6540s – 1). The high voltage cable is used
to connect from the splitter to the next SC6540 Scanner.
Four hook-style crimp lugs are supplied for tying the Current and Return
terminals from one Scanner to the Current and Return terminals on the next
Scanner. The lugs should be attached to user-supplied wire. Two
terminals are supplied per binding post (Current and Return). One terminal
is for the connection coming from the previous Scanner (if applicable) and
one is for the connection to the next Scanner (if applicable), creating a
daisy chain configuration.
For Ground Bond applications we recommend using 10AWG wire for 40A
testing and 12AWG for 30A testing.
