Prober Safety - Keithley S530 Administrative Manual

Section 3: Equipment startup

Prober safety

Hazardous voltages may be present on the probe card adapter, even after you disengage
the interlock. Cables can retain charges after the interlock is disengaged, exposing you to
live voltages that, if contacted, may cause personal injury or death. Reset the test
equipment to put the probe card adapter in a safe state before touching the prober cables
or any connected cables.
Never attempt to touch or change a probe card when tests are running. You must be
absolutely certain that all tests have stopped before making contact with anything in the
vicinity of the probe card adapter. Also, never run tests without a probe card installed.
Network information
System controller network interface: Ethernet port (10, 100, or 1000 Base-T capable using
RJ-45).
Supplied cables: One ethernet crossover cable (connects the computer to the tester).
One 10Base-T patch cable (connects to your network).
