Figure 1-4 Channel Terminals
(1) Channel input terminal: Connects with the device under test (DUT, such as
battery and power supply), which is used for inputting voltage and current.
Note: Connect the positive polarity of the load to the (+) terminal of the
channel output, and the negative polarity of the load to the (-) terminal of
the channel output.
(2) Sense terminal: When the DUT outputs large current, the sense terminal
can be used to accurately measure the voltage across the output terminals
of the DUT to compensate for the voltage drop on the load.
Connection methods for the input terminals (see Figure 1-5):
Figure 1-5 Connect Input Terminals
a) Rotate the outer nut of the input terminal counterclockwise to remove it.
b) Connect the test lead to Position A of the input terminal.
c) Fasten the outer nut of the input terminal clockwise.
d) Secure the shield to the terminal and then tighten the screw.
CAUTION
To avoid electric shock, ensure that you have installed the shield
when the DC voltage output from the DUT is equal to or greater
than 70 V.
