When current flows to the sense
conductor, a voltage corresponding to
the conductor's resistance occurs and
introduces an error component.

If you use a single copper plate (conductor),
the conductor's resistance will introduce an
error component.

Prevent the source current from flowing to the sense
conductor.
Connect the source and sense
conducting areas at a single
point.
Use a thick wire for the
source conductor to reduce its
resistance.

Do not touch the metallic tip of probes after measuring high-voltage batteries.
Doing so may result in electrical shock since internal instrument components
could retain a charge under those conditions. (Internal discharge time: Approx.
20 sec.)
• When separating the tips of the optional measurement leads, take care that
the SOURCE-H, SENSE-H, and SENSE-L shield wires do not come into
contact with the core wires.
• When measuring high-voltage batteries, be sure to use cables with sufficient
dielectric strength.
• To avoid short-circuit accidents, connect the probe's banana terminals to the
instrument before connecting the probes to the battery.
