Safety Summary

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of

operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these

precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual may impair the

protections provided by the equipment. In addition, it violates safety standards of

design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Agilent Technologies, Inc.

assumes no liability for customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.

NOTE Agilent 4155C/4156C/41501B comply with INSTALLATION CATEGORY II for mains

input and INSTALLATION CATEGORY I for measurement input terminals, and

POLLUTION DEGREE 2 defined in IEC 61010-1.

Agilent 4155C/4156C/41501B are INDOOR USE products.

•GROUND THE INSTRUMENT

This is Safety Class I instrument. To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis

and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The power terminal and the

power cable must meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety

standards.

•DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a

definite safety hazard.

•KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS

Operation personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement

and internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do

not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain conditions,

dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid

injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.

•DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE

Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of

rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

•DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute

parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the instrument. Return the

instrument to a Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office for services and

repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.

•DANGEROUS PROCEDURE WARNINGS

death to personal.

CAUTION The caution sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure,

practice, condition or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could

result in damage to or destruction of part or all of the product.

CAT 1

HIGH VOLTAGE SHOCK HAZARD

The Agilent 4155C/4156C/41501B can force dangerous voltages (200 V for

HPSMU, and 100 V for MPSMU) at the force, guard, and sense terminals. To

prevent electric shock hazard, the following safety precautions must be observed

during the use of the Agilent 4155C/4156C/41501B.

• Use a three-conductor AC power cable to connect cabinet (if used) and Agilent

4155C/4156C/41501B to an electric ground (safety ground).

• If you do not use Agilent 16442 Test Fixture, make sure to connect the INTLK

terminal to a switch that turns off when the shielding box access door is opened.

• Confirm periodically that INTLK function works normally.

• Before touching the connections of the force, guard, and sense terminals, turn

the Agilent 4155C/4156C/41501B off and discharge any capacitors whenever

possible. If you do not turn the Agilent 4155C/4156C/41501B off, complete

“all” of the following items, regardless of any Agilent 4155C/4156C/41501B

settings.

• Terminate measurement by pressing Output key, confim that the Output

status indicator is not lit.

• Confirm that the HIGH VOLTAGE indicator is not lit.

• Open the shielding box access door (open the INTLK terminal).

• Discharge any capacitors if the capacitance is connected to an SMU.

• Warn workers in the vicinity of the Agilent 4155C/4156C/41501B about

dangerous conditions.

力されることがあります（HPSMU の場合は最大± 200 Vdc、MPSMU の場合は最大

±100 Vdc）。感電事故防止のため、必ず以下の事柄を守ってください。

•3極電源ケーブルを使用して Agilent 4155C/4156C/41501B を設置すること。

• Agilent 16442 テスト・フィクスチャ以外のフィクスチャ、あるいはプローバを

使用する場合には、シールド・ボックスにインターロック回路を接続すること。

インターロック回路とは、シールド・ボックスの蓋を開けた時に Agilent

4155C/4156C/41501BのINTLK 端子を開放にすることができる回路のことをい

います。

•インターロック機能が正常であることを定期的に確認すること。

•フォース、ガード、センス端子に繋がる接続部に触れる前には、測定器の電源

を切ること。また、測定系にキャパシタが接続されている場合は、キャパシタ

を放電すること。電源を切らない場合は、以下の事項を全て実施すること。

•Outputキーを押して Output インジケータが消灯したことを確認すること。

•高電圧警告（HIGH VOLTAGE）インジケータが消灯していることを確認す

ること。

•シールド・ボックスの蓋を開ける（INTLK 端子を開放する）こと。

•キャパシタが SMU に接続されているならば、キャパシタを放電すること。

•周囲のほかの作業者に対しても、高電圧危険に対する注意を徹底すること。

PRECAUTIONS POUR COMMOTION A HAUTE TENSION

Une tension dangereuse (max. ± pour HPSMU; 200 Vdc, max. ± pour MPSMU;

100 Vdc) émanant du dispositif Agilent 4155C/4156C/41501B peut être sortie aux

bornes de force, d'appareil de protection ou de détection. Les précautions suivantes

doivent être obserées contre commotion électrique accidentelle:

• Mettre à la terre le dispositif Agilent 4155C/4156C/41501B au moyen du câble

d'alimentation tripolair.

• En cas de hors service du dispositif d'essai, FIXTURE Agilent 16442, connecter

les bornes de verrouillage (INTLK) de façon à ce que soit ouverte lorsque le

couvercle de la boîte de blindage est ouvert.

• Essayer périodiquement le fonctionnement normal de verrouillage.

• Avant de toucher la partie connexion à partir des bornes de force, d'appareil de

protection et de détection, mettre hors tension le dispositif Agilent

4155C/4156C/41501B. Et, en cas de condensateurs connectés au circuit de

mesure, décharger ces condensateurs. Lorsque l'alimentation n'est pas mise hors

tension, les 4 instructions suivantes doivent être exécutées:

• Finir la mésure en appuyant sur la touche “Output”; verifier que l'indicateur

“Output” n'est pas allumé.

• S'assurer que soit allumé l'indicateur d'alarme de la haute tension.

• Ouvrir le convercle de la boîte de blindage (Ouvrir les bornes de

verrouillage).

• En cas de condensateurs connectés à SMU, décharger les condensateurs.

• Alerter d'autres personnes autour de vous contre le danger de haute tension.
