The item shipped may vary from the item in the picture.

The 236-ILC-3 cable connects the safety interlock circuit of the 4200A-SCS to the safety interlock switch of the

test fixture containing the device under test. To use the 236-ILC-3, plug one end of the cable into the INTERLOCK

connector on the test fixture, and connect the other end of the cable into the INTERLOCK connector on the rear

panel of the instrument.

Detailed information on using the interlock cable can be found in the 4200A-SCS Learning Center.

Connecting the interlock cable to protective earth (safety ground) may result in damage to the

interlock circuit. A self-resetting fuse is provided in the interlock power supply to protect the

circuit from damage if the cable is shorted to protective earth (safety ground). If the current

limit from the interlock circuit is exceeded, the fuse will open and may not reset for

several minutes.
