12.1 Connecting to the External Control Terminals
218
To prevent electric shock accidents and damage to the equipment,
always observe the following precautions when making connec
-
tions to external terminal blocks and external connectors.
• Before making connections, turn off the power on the instrument
and the equipment to connect.
• Do not exceed the specified signal levels for signals supplied to
external terminal blocks.
• Ensure that devices and systems to be connected to the external
control terminals are properly isolated.
• The external control ground terminal is not isolated from the Memory
HiCorder’s chassis ground. Make certain that there will be no poten
-
tial difference between the external control ground terminal and the
ground of any connected device. Otherwise, the Memory HiCorder or
device could be damaged.
• To avoid electric shock, use the recommended wire type to connect to
the current input terminals, or otherwise ensure that the wire used has
sufficient current handling capacity and insulation.
