For Safe Measurement
2.7 For Safe Measurement
The INTER LOCK terminal is internally connected to Pin 24 of the EXT I/O terminal.
Read “Before controlling the instrument externally” (p. 13) beforehand.
Operating the instrument incorrectly will cause an electric shock because measurement voltage is
output when measurement starts.
Use the interlock function to perform measurement safely.
For example, if the signal for the open lid of the shielding box is connected to the INTER LOCK
terminal on the back of the instrument, the interlock function is activated when the lid is open.
If the pins of the INTER LOCK terminals are open-circuited with the interlock function set to [ON],
the interlock function is activated with the result that the output of measurement voltage and the
measurement function are disabled.
See “4.7 Setting Interlock Function” (p. 62).
