Page 4: Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions The following safety precautions should be observed be- fore 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.
Page 5 As described in the International Electrotechnical Com- mission (IEC) Standard IEC 664, digital multimeter mea- suring circuits (e.g., Keithley Models 175A, 199, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2010) are Installation Category II. All other instruments’ signal terminals are Installation Cate- gory I and must not be connected to mains.
Page 6 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: connect- ing or disconnecting cables or jumpers, installing or re- moving switching cards, or making internal changes, such as installing or removing jumpers.
Page 7 Keithley Instruments. Standard fuses, with ap- plicable national safety approvals, may be used if the rating 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.

Page 9: Front Panel Operation Summary
Operation Summary Power-on defaults Power-on defaults are those settings the instrument assumes when it is turned on. The Model 2000 offers two choices for the settings: user or factory. With user, the instrument will power-on to the last conﬁguration that you saved. With factory, the instrument will power on to the factory default settings.

Page 12: Recalling Readings
Storing readings (2 to 1024) 1. Set up the instrument for the desired conﬁguration. 2. Press the STORE key. , L and M keys to select the number 3. Use the of readings to store in the buffer. 4. Press ENTER to start the storage process. The aster- isk (*) annunciator turns on to indicate a data stor- age operation.
Page 13 FILTER — Filter state (on/off) and conﬁguration can be changed for any measurement function, except fre- quency, period, continuity and diode test. The FILTER key toggles between ﬁlter on (FILT annunciator on) and ﬁlter off. After pressing FILTER to enable the ﬁlter, you can then enter the ﬁlter count (1 to 100), and select the ﬁlter type (moving or repeating).
Page 14 Math To enable and conﬁgure a math operation, press SHIFT and then the desired math key (MX+B, %, dBm or dB). , L and M keys to conﬁgure the math Use the operation and press ENTER when done. Pressing SHIFT and then the related math key a second time disables the math operation.
Page 15: Measuring Continuity
Measuring continuity With this feature, the instrument alerts you with a beep when a resistance reading is below the set level. To measure continuity, press SHIFT and then CONT. Use , L and M keys to set the resistance threshold level, and press ENTER.
Page 16: Reading Hold
Reading hold With this feature, an audible beep is sounded when a valid, settled reading is acquired. A valid reading is determined by the speciﬁed window and count. 1. Press SHIFT and then HOLD. Select a window per- centage and enter a count. 2.
Page 17: Scan Operations
Scan operations The Model 2000 can be used with an internal scanner card (Model 2000 SCAN or 2001-TCSCAN), or with external scanner cards installed in a switching main- frame (i.e. Model 7001 and 7002). Step/Scan conﬁguration — A “walk-through” menu is provided to conﬁgure stepping or scanning.
