Connecting the Cables
When connecting cables to the external control terminals
WARNING
Before connecting cables to the external control terminals, follow the
procedure below:
1. Turn o the instrument and all equipment to be connected.
2. Eliminate static electricity from the body.
3. Make sure that the signals do not exceed the rating of the external input/output.
4. Appropriately isolate the equipment to be connected
Failure to do so could cause electric shock or damage to the instrument.
NOTICE
Do not short-circuit the output terminal or input a voltage to the output terminal.
Failure to do so could damage to the instrument.
Take appropriate measures so that the ground of the external control terminal
and that of targets to be connected have the same potential.
Failure to do so could cause damage to the targets to be connected and the
instrument.
The external control terminals share the ground with the instrument: the grounds of
them are not insulated from one another.
When using twisted-pair wiring for measurement cables, exercise care not to make contact with
adjacent measurement cables or terminals.
