Grounding
Procedure
C-Size Configuration Guide
When operating the Agilent 1401B or E1421B at mains frequencies
greater than 66 Hz, you must connect a safety ground.
For protection from electrical shock when operating at mains
frequencies greater than 66 Hz, connect the chassis ground
terminal to permanent earth ground.
Risque de Choch électrique. Si la fréquence du secteur est
supérieure à 66 Hz, relier la borne de masse du chassis à une
prise de terre fixe.
Connect a 16 AWG (1.3 mm or larger) wire to the PEM nut shown below.
The wire must be green with a yellow stripe or bare (no insulation). Use an
M4 x 10 screw, grounding lug, and toothed washers (or toothed lug) as
shown in the figure on the following page. Securely attach the other end of
the wire to a permanent earth ground using toothed washers or a toothed lug.
