Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions should be observed

before using this product and any associated instrumenta-

tion. Although some instruments and accessories would

normally be used with non-hazardous voltages, there are

situations where hazardous conditions may be present.

This product is intended for use by qualiﬁed personnel

who recognize shock hazards and are familiar with the

safety precautions required to avoid possible injury. Read

the operating information carefully before using the

product.

The types of product users are:

Responsible body

is the individual or group responsible for

the use and maintenance of equipment, for ensuring that

the equipment is operated within its speciﬁcations and

operating limits, and for ensuring that operators are ade-

quately trained.

Operators

use the product for its intended function. They

must be trained in electrical safety procedures and proper

use of the instrument. They must be protected from electric

shock and contact with hazardous live circuits.

Maintenance personnel

perform routine procedures on the

product to keep it operating, for example, setting the line

voltage or replacing consumable materials. Maintenance

procedures are described in the manual. The procedures

explicitly state if the operator may perform them. Other-

wise, they should be performed only by service personnel.

Service personnel

are trained to work on live circuits, and

perform safe installations and repairs of products. Only

properly trained service personnel may perform installation

and service procedures.

Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present.

Lethal voltage may be present on cable connector jacks or

test ﬁxtures. The American National Standards Institute

(ANSI) states that a shock hazard exists when voltage levels

greater than 30V RMS, 42.4V peak, or 60VDC are present.

A good safety practice is to expect that hazardous voltage

is present in any unknown circuit before measuring.

Users of this product must be protected from electric shock

at all times. The responsible body must ensure that users

are prevented access and/or insulated from every connec-

tion point. In some cases, connections must be exposed to

potential human contact. Product users in these circum-

stances must be trained to protect themselves from the risk

of electric shock. If the circuit is capable of operating at or

above 1000 volts,

no conductive part of the circuit may be

exposed.

As described in the International Electrotechnical Commis-

sion (IEC) Standard IEC 664, digital multimeter measuring

circuits (e.g., Keithley Models 175A, 199, 2000, 2001,

2002, and 2010) are Installation Category II. All other

instruments’ signal terminals are Installation Category I and

must not be connected to mains.

Do not connect switching cards directly to unlimited

power circuits. They are intended to be used with imped-

ance limited sources. NEVER connect switching cards

directly to AC mains. When connecting sources to switch-

ing cards, install protective devices to limit fault current

and voltage to the card.

Before operating an instrument, make sure the line cord is

connected to a properly grounded power receptacle.

Inspect the connecting cables, test leads, and jumpers for

possible wear, cracks, or breaks before each use.

For maximum safety, do not touch the product, test cables,

or any other instruments while power is applied to the cir-

cuit under test. ALWAYS remove power from the entire test

system and discharge any capacitors before: connecting or

disconnecting cables or jumpers, installing or removing

switching cards, or making internal changes, such as

installing or removing jumpers.

Do not touch any object that could provide a current path

to the common side of the circuit under test or power line

(earth) ground. Always make measurements with dry hands

while standing on a dry, insulated surface capable of with-

standing the voltage being measured.

The instrument and accessories must be used in accor-

dance with its speciﬁcations and operating instructions or

the safety of the equipment may be impaired.

Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the instru-

ments and accessories, as deﬁned in the speciﬁcations and

operating information, and as shown on the instrument or

test ﬁxture panels, or switching card.

When fuses are used in a product, replace with same type

and rating for continued protection against ﬁre hazard.

Chassis connections must only be used as shield connec-

tions for measuring circuits, NOT as safety earth ground

connections.

If you are using a test ﬁxture, keep the lid closed while

power is applied to the device under test. Safe operation

requires the use of a lid interlock.

If a screw is present, connect it to safety earth ground

using the wire recommended in the user documentation.

The symbol on an instrument indicates that the user

should refer to the operating instructions located in the

manual.

The symbol on an instrument shows that it can source

or measure 1000 volts or more, including the combined

effect of normal and common mode voltages. Use standard

safety precautions to avoid personal contact with these

voltages.

The

WARNING

heading in a manual explains dangers that

might result in personal injury or death. Always read the

associated information very carefully before performing the

indicated procedure.

The

CAUTION

heading in a manual explains hazards that

could damage the instrument. Such damage may invalidate

the warranty.

Instrumentation and accessories shall not be connected to

humans.

Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the line

cord and all test cables.

To maintain protection from electric shock and ﬁre,

replacement components in mains circuits, including the

power transformer, test leads, and input jacks, must be pur-

chased from Keithley Instruments. Standard fuses, with

applicable national safety approvals, may be used if the rat-

ing and type are the same. Other components that are not

safety related may be purchased from other suppliers as

long as they are equivalent to the original component.

(Note that selected parts should be purchased only through

Keithley Instruments to maintain accuracy and functional-

ity of the product.) If you are unsure about the applicability

of a replacement component, call a Keithley Instruments

ofﬁce for information.

To clean an instrument, use a damp cloth or mild, water

based cleaner. Clean the exterior of the instrument only.

Do not apply cleaner directly to the instrument or allow

liquids to enter or spill on the instrument. Products that

consist of a circuit board with no case or chassis (e.g., data

acquisition board for installation into a computer) should

never require cleaning if handled according to instructions.

If the board becomes contaminated and operation is

affected, the board should be returned to the factory for

proper cleaning/servicing.
