Interlock Function (B2985B/B2987B) - Keysight B2980B Series User Manual

Interlock Function (B2985B/B2987B)

The interlock function for B2985B/B2987B is designed to prevent electrical shock
when a user touches the Voltage Source output terminal. If the interlock terminal
is open, maximum output of the voltage source is limited to 21 V.
To perform high voltage measurement greater than 21 V, connect the interlock
terminal to an interlock circuit of a test fixture or a shielding box. The interlock
circuit must have one LED and two mechanical switches that are connected
together and placed near the shielding box opening doors. For details on installing
the interlock circuit, see
The interlock function works as shown below.

When the interlock terminal is open, maximum output is limited to 21 V.
When the interlock terminal is shorted, voltage source can apply its maximum
output value.
When the interlock terminal is opened in a high voltage condition greater than
21 V, the output voltage is immediately set to 0 V and the output switch is set
to off.
