5.2.2 Safety Features
The Model 9100 incorporates safety mechanisms in all its internal programming. For
example: a user must make an extra confirming key-press in order to raise a voltage at the
terminals above a pre-determined value.
High Voltage Warning — Take Care
After pressing OK or REPEAT PREV. keys:
If the procedure writer has not conformed strictly to the procedure-writing guidelines,
LETHAL VOLTAGES MAY APPEAR WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY POINT IN
THE PROCEDURE. ANY WARNING BEEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY
SERIOUSLY!
Emergency Action — Use of OUTPUT OFF Button
In emergency, the most effective way of turning output off (other than pulling the line-
power plug) is to press the OUTPUT OFF button on the right of the front panel. This may
sound obvious, but a special feature of the OFF button operation is that as well as sending
the appropriate message to the operating system, it also has a hardware link which
bypasses the software. Even if the program has locked up, this button is effective in
cutting off the output.
