Designated use
Figure 2-5: CPL1 and CPL2 external quadripole
The CPL1 and CPL2 external quadripoles are designed to connect the MPD 800 acquisition unit to a
capacitance (coupling capacitor or test object), which drives a reactive current larger than the current the
MPD 800 acquisition unit can handle directly.
CPL2 allows furthermore to operate third party measuring equipment using the same coupling capacitor
or test object as the MPD 800 system. Additional precautions must to be fulfilled to achieve the desired
safety requirements.
DANGER
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current
► Always observe the five safety rules (see 1.2.2 "Safety rules" on page 6) before
connecting or integrating CPL1 or CPL2 into a system.
DANGER
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current
CPL1 or CPL2 and its accessories are not suitable for reliably checking if a system is
electrically live or energized.
► Do not use CPL1 or CPL2 for safety relevant procedures.
