2.2 Connecting Measurement Cables and
Test Fixtures
• Do not apply a voltage to the measurement terminals. Doing so may damage the unit.
• When disconnecting the BNC connector, be sure to release the lock before pulling off the
connector. Forcibly pulling the connector without releasing the lock, or pulling on the cable,
can damage the connector.
• We recommend using optional Hioki fix-
tures.
• Use the GUARD jack only for Faraday
shield, and avoid more than 10 mA cur-
rent flow. This jack is not for guarding
network resistance measurements.
