Page 2: Safety Precautions
Measurement Category II (as referenced in IEC 60664) connections require protection for high transient overvoltages often associated with local AC mains connections. Certain Keithley measuring instruments may be connected to mains. These instruments will be The following safety precautions should be observed before using this product and any marked as category II or higher. - Page 3 If you are using a test fi xture, keep the lid closed while power is applied to the device under selected parts should be purchased only through Keithley Instruments to maintain test.
