Attention S'assurer que le câblage à tension dangereuse est effectué par du personnel qualifié respectant les normes électriques locales.
Caution Do not mix hazardous voltage circuits and human-accessible circuits on the same product.
Attention Ne pas combiner des circuits avec des tensions dangereuses et des circuits accessibles aux personnes sur le même produit.
Caution When product terminals are hazardous voltage LIVE, you must ensure that devices and circuits connected to the product are properly
insulated from human contact.
Attention Lorsqu'une haute tension dangereuse est appliquée aux bornes du produit, vous devez vous assurer que les appareils et les circuits auxquels
il est connecté sont correctement isolés de tout contact humain.
Safety Interlock System Integration
The PXIe-4135 includes a safety interlock circuit that places the outputs of the SMU in a safe state, regardless of the programmed state of the module.
• Do not short the safety interlock pins directly at the connector under any circumstances.
• Confirm on a regular basis that the safety interlock is functioning by performing a safety interlock test.
• Install mechanical detection switches that open the safety interlock circuit when the operator attempts to access the test fixture, disabling the hazardous
voltage ranges of the instrument.
• Ensure the mechanical detection switches close the safety interlock circuit only when the operator has properly closed all entry points to the test fixture
enclosure, enabling hazardous voltage ranges on the instrument.
