3.1 Safety Precautions
Observe proper safety operational guidelines when working with high voltages.
To minimize shock hazard connect the case terminal to an electrical ground.
Always take precautions to avoid and prevent contact with live components.
Handle the unit with care and use as per the instructions in this manual.
3.2 Front Panel Controls and Connections
• Resistance Terminals: Resistance is connected via the safety terminal binding
posts that are suitable for twisted stripped wire compression connection, spade
terminals, or by 4 mm shrouded or normal plug insertion.
•
Case Terminal: The case terminal is isolated from the two active resistance
terminals. When connected to ground/earth, it may be used as a guard or shield
connection, this can help to reduce unwanted electrical noise pickup, and help
maintain the case at a safe voltage in certain modes of use.
•
5-way Digit Decade Bank: Used for selecting the required resistance by setting the
thumbwheel digit switches to the value of the decade range. Each decade can be set
from 0 to 9.
