CONNECTING
TO THE SI1287
The following diagrams
show how to connect a four-, three-, or two-terminal
electrochemical cell to the terminals on the front panel of the SI1287.

Connections
The
outer
screen
connections on the bnc connectors are connected internally to
screen driver amplifiers, and must be left to float; they must not
be connected to
ground, each other, or any other voltage.
3.1 MEASUREMENT
OF GROUNDED ELECTRODES
The
polarization and measurement circuits share a common reference, which is
connected to the LO terminal. Under most circumstances, where none
of
the cell
terminals are grounded, the LO terminal should
be connected to chassis ground
by a
link
across
the
GROUND (green) and LO (black) binding posts at the rear of
the
SI1287,
see figure 2.2. This will give the best accuracy in Impedance
measurement.
