Do not use the chassis as a ground point for signal connections. High frequencies on the chassis of
the 2601B-PULSE may result in higher noise. The chassis should only be used as a safety shield.
Use the chassis screw for connections to the chassis of the 2601B-PULSE.
The FORCE and SENSE connectors of the 2601B-PULSE are rated for connection to circuits
rated Measurement Category I only, with transients rated less than 1500 V
PEAK
. Do not
connect the 2601B-PULSE terminals to CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV circuits. Connections of the
input/output connectors to circuits higher than CAT I can cause damage to the equipment or
expose the operator to hazardous voltages.
To prevent electric shock and/or damage to the 2601B-PULSE, when connecting to a source
with a greater current capability than the 2601B-PULSE, a user-supplied fuse, rated at no
more than 20 A SLO-BLO, should be installed in-line with the 2601B-PULSE
input/output connectors.
