Connections
WARNING Connection information for switching modules is intended for qualified
service personnel. Do not attempt to connect DUT or external circuitry to a
switching module unless qualified to do so.
To prevent electric shock that could result in serious injury or death,
comply with these safety precautions:
Before making or breaking any connections to the switching module,
make sure the Series 3700 is turned off and power is removed from all
external circuitry.
Do not connect signals that will exceed the maximum specifications of
any installed switching module.
If both the rear analog backplane connector of the Series 3700 and the
switching module terminals are connected at the same time, the test lead
insulation must be rated to the highest voltage that is connected. For
example, if 300V is connected to the analog backplane connector, the test
lead insulation for the switching module must also be rated for 300V.
Dangerous arcs of an explosive nature in a high energy circuit can cause
severe personal injury or death. If the multimeter is connected to a high
energy circuit when set to a current range, low resistance range, or any
other low impedance range, the circuit is virtually shorted.
Dangerous arcing can result (even when the multimeter is set to a voltage
range) if the minimum voltage spacing is reduced in the external
connections. For details about how to safely make high energy
measurements, see High-energy circuit safety precautions (on page 5-2).
As described in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
Standard IEC 664, the Series 3700 is Installation Category I and must not
be connected to mains.
