Installation
Connecting Measurement Devices
Using Test Fixture
1. Press the Stop key to set the output off.
2. Select a proper socket module for your DUT, then set the socket module on the
test fixture.
3. Mount your DUT on the socket module.
4. Connect between the socket module and the test fixture by using the proper test
leads.
5. Close the fixture cover.
To force more than ± 42 V, close the fixture cover. Otherwise, the interlock
function will stop Keysight B1500A output.
To connect between the socket module and the test fixture, you can use test leads
that have the following terminals:
• Miniature banana-to-miniature banana
• Miniature banana-to-pin plug
• Miniature banana-to-miniature clip
WARNING Set the instrument output off before connecting or disconnecting test leads.
Press the front panel Stop key to set the output off. And confirm that the front
panel High Voltage indicator is not lit.
WARNING Make sure that the fixture cover is closed properly before starting
measurement. Do not perform the measurement when a test lead is protruding
from the test fixture and the cover.
CAUTION Do not touch the terminals of the test leads. Oil, perspiration, and dirt prevent good
electrical contact, deteriorate insulation, and degrade measurement accuracy.
WARNING To prevent electrical shock and DUT damage, do not connect or disconnect the
DUT while the instrument is applying voltage or current.
When you touch the DUT after measurement, devise a countermeasure of
residual charge and heat to prevent electrical shock and burn. Use glove and
any tool. Also have enough time for discharge and radiation.
