NOTE Floating an SMU may also cause test circuit voltage to exceed 42V
(see Floating an SMU for more information).

Model 2611A/2612A/2635A/2636A safety shield
The maximum output voltage for a Model 2611A/2612A/2635A/2636A channel is 200V, which is
considered hazardous and requires a safety shield (
Figure 2-26). The connections for the test
configuration in Figure 2-26 are shown in Figure 2-28. Use # 18 AWG wire or larger for
connections to safety earth ground and chassis.
