Your multiplexer card
Thank you for choosing a Keithley Instruments product. The Model 3762 is a 10-channel high-voltage
card that is capable of switching voltages to 1000 V peak or currents to 0.5 A. The current carry
capacity of each relay contact is 1 A. Two-pole channels switch both circuit high and low for full
floating measurements. A guard input common to all channels is provided for shielding or as a guard
driven from a single instrument.
Guards may be isolated by removing jumpers installed at each input. Multiple switched guard circuits
can be achieved by removing the jumper and connecting circuit guard to the low input terminal.
