Grounding Instrument
(1) If setting a guard using a retainer, measurement xture, etc. (Grounding the GUARD terminal)
Connect the GROUND terminal to the GUARD terminal.
Grounding the GUARD terminal allows the positive setting voltage output from the OUTPUT
terminal to be applied.
Measurement can be done more safely because the potential of the guard circuit equals to the
ground potential. (See the gure below.)
