9.1 Description of Signals
To prevent electrical hazards, observe the following cautions:
• Turn off the instrument's power switch before connecting a cable to the
terminal. Ensure secure connection to prevent the cable from discon-
necting during operation and contacting a conductive part (e.g., chassis,
test leads).
• Note that INT.GND is grounded. Therefore, electric potential in the con-
troller may result in short-circuiting and cause an electrical hazard.
To prevent damage to the instrument, observe the following cautions:
• Do not input voltage or current exceeding the rating to the EXT I/O terminal.
• When using a relay, be sure to install a diode for absorbing counter-electromo-
tive force.
• Do not short-circuit between the input and output terminals in the EXT I/O.
• Do not short-circuit between INT.DCV and INT.GND.
• Be sure to ground the equipment connected to the EXT I/O terminal. Failure to
provide protective earthing may damage the insulation of the measurement
system.
• The EXT I/O terminal is operable only when the measurement screen is dis-
played.
