The physical connections for the front panel are shown in 
the following fi gures. Note that you must use either the front 
terminals or rear terminals—you cannot mix connections. The 
front-panel and rear-panel connections are safety banana jacks. 
The example in this guide shows you how to make connections 
to the front panel and short the connections.
For this example, you can make the connections with the Model 
1756 Standard Test Lead Kit.
1.  Make sure the front panel POWER switch is off.
2.  Connect the red lead to the INPUT HI connection.
3.  Connect the black lead to the INPUT LO connection.
Do not apply more than 1000 V
PEAK
 to the INPUT terminals or 
more than 350 V
PEAK
 to the SENSE terminals. Failure to heed 
this caution may result in instrument damage.
Do not apply more than 250 V
PEAK
 between INPUT LO and 
the AMPS input. Failure to observe this caution may result in 
instrument damage.
Do not apply more than 3 A, 250 V to the input. This will 
cause the AMPS fuse to open-circuit.
To prevent electric shock, test connections must be 
confi gured such that the user cannot come in contact with 
test leads or any device under test (DUT) that is in contact 
with the conductors. It is good practice to disconnect DUTs 
from the instrument before powering the instrument. Safe 
installation requires proper shields, barriers, and grounding 
to prevent contact with test leads.
