This document describes the DMM7512 7½ Digit Multimeter instrument and how it differs from the Model DMM7510 7½ Digit Multimeter instrument. The DMM7512 is a no-front-panel version of the DMM7510 that has two DMM modules housed in one enclosure. Except for the power switch, each module operates independently within the enclosure.
The DMM7512 is very similar to the DMM7510. This document describes the differences between the DMM7512 and the DMM7510. Other than the changes described in this document, the products are identical, so you can use the DMM7510 documents as a resource.
▪ Installing the DMM7512 The DMM7512 is intended for mounting in a rack only. For detailed instructions, refer to the documentation for the Model 4299-13 Rack Mount Kit (part number 0713574XX). Rack mounting the DMM7512 requires two people. Failure to recognize and observe standard safety precautions could result in personal injury.

Each module in the instrument has a separate IP configuration. The IP configuration persists through a power cycle. When the DMM7512 is shipped, the IP configurations for each module are set to Manual and are set to the following values: IP address, module 1: 192.168.0.3...

2. Wait for the instrument to complete power up. 3. Insert a straightened paper clip into the recessed LAN RESET switch on the DMM7512 front panel, pressing the switch briefly. The LAN status indicator illuminates when the connection is established.
Model DMM7512 7½ Digit Sampling Multimeter Instrument Information Accessing the virtual front panel If you have a LAN connection, you can access the web interface of each module in the instrument. Each module has its own IP address and is controlled separately. The web interface for each module includes a virtual front panel, which you can use to control the module.
Failure to do so could expose the operator to hazardous voltages that could result in personal injury or death. The fuse drawer is above the AC receptacle on the rear panel of the DMM7512, as shown in the following figure.
The DMM7512 contains two independent DMM modules. Each module requires separate calibration and ▪ adjustment. The DMM7512 does not support AC voltage or AC current functions, and it does not support the 10 A ▪ current range. Therefore, only DC verification and adjustment steps are required.
Keithley products are designed for use with electrical signals that are measurement, control, and data I/O connections, with low transient overvoltages, and must not be directly connected to mains voltage or to voltage sources with high transient overvoltages.
