Model 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter Instrument Reference Manual Section 13: Calibration
2601B-PULSE-901-01A April 2020 13-21
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.
Hazardous voltages may be present on all output and guard terminals. To prevent electrical
shock that could cause injury or death, never make or break connections to the 2601B-PULSE
while the instrument is powered on. Turn off the equipment from the front panel or
disconnect the main power cord from the rear of the 2601B-PULSE before handling cables.
Putting the equipment into standby does not guarantee that the outputs are powered off if a
hardware or software fault occurs.
Adjustment cycle
Perform an adjustment at least once a year to make sure the instrument meets or exceeds
its specifications.
Recommended adjustment equipment
The table below contains the recommended equipment for the adjustment procedures. You can use
alternate equipment if that equipment has specifications equal to or greater than those listed in the
table. When possible, test equipment specifications should be at least four times better than
corresponding 2601B-PULSE specifications.
