Steps
The Ext-R configuration is recommended for
safety reasons. In the event that the cables become
accidentaly disconnected, the current output will
drop to zero. Under similar circumstances using
Ext-R , an unexpected high current would be
output.
If swtiches are used to switch between fixed
resistances, use switches that avoid creating open
circuits. Use short-circuit or continous resistance
switches.
