Test considerations

When performing the verification procedures:
• Restore factory front panel defaults as previously outlined.
• Make sure that the test equipment is properly warmed up and connected to the Model
6430 jacks.
• Set the Model 6430 to the correct source range. See below.
• Be sure that the Model 6430 output is turned on before making measurements.
• Be sure the test equipment is set up for the proper function and range.
• Allow the Model 6430 output signal to settle before making a measurement.
• Do not connect test equipment to the Model 6430 through a scanner, multiplexer, or
other switching equipment.
WARNING
CAUTION
The maximum common-mode voltage (voltage between mainframe LO
and chassis ground or PreAmp IN/OUT LOW and chassis ground) is ±42V
DC. Exceeding this value may create a shock hazard.
Exceeding the following voltage values between these terminals may result
in instrument damage:
• INPUT/OUTPUT HI and LO: 250V peak.
• 4-WIRE SENSE HI and LO: 250V peak.
• INPUT/OUTPUT HI and 4-WIRE SENSE HI: 5V.
• INPUT/OUTPUT LO and 4-WIRE SENSE LO: 5V.
• Preamp IN/OUT HI or SENSE HI and GUARD: 40V peak.
• Preamp GUARD and IN/OUT LOW: 250V peak.
