Model 8009 Resistivity Test Fixture Instruction Manual

Connections

The following sections show connections for using your 8009 with a 6517 or a 6517B.
The earth ground screw terminal of the 8009 Resistivity Test Fixture must be connected to a
known safety earth ground using the supplied 8007-GND-3 ground wire or the #18 AWG or a
larger wire.
The use of hazardous voltage requires that the interlock be used. The interlock circuit is
activated when the 6517-ILC-3 or the 6517B-ILC-3 interlock cable (both supplied with 8009) is
connected as shown in the following figures Whenever the lid of the 8009 is open, the 6517 or
6517B goes into standby, thus removing power from the test fixture.
To prevent electrical shock that could cause injury or death:
Put the 6517 or 6517B voltage source in STANDBY before opening the lid of the Model 8009.
6517 connections
To connect the 6517 to the 8009 test fixture, refer to the following figure. The 7078-TRX-3 triaxial
cable and the 6517-ILC-3 interlock cable are supplied with the 8009. Note that the ground link on the
6517 must be removed. Proper grounding will be performed by the 8009.
