Installation

Installing Accessories
This section describes how to install the B1500A and accessories. Additional
information regarding airflow can be found in the “Ventilation Requirements” on
page 3-4.
This section describes how to:
• “To Connect 16442B Test Fixture”
• “To Connect Connector Plate”
• “To Connect ASU”
• “To Connect SCUU/GSWU”
• “To Connect GNDU Adapter”
• “To Interconnect SPGUs”
NOTE Before connecting accessory to MFCMU
Turn the B1500A off before connecting the SCUU, the SCUU cable, or the CMU
cable to the MFCMU.
WARNING There are potentially hazardous voltages of up to ± 100 V (MPSMU/HRSMU)
or ± 200 V (HPSMU) at the Force, Sense, and Guard terminals. To prevent
electrical shock, do not expose these lines.
WARNING To prevent electrical shock during use, install an interlock circuit (see
page 3-29) and connect the Interlock cable (see page 3-16).
CAUTION The GNDU can sink current of up to 4.2 A. Use Agilent 16493L GNDU cable to
connect the GNDU to a test fixture or a connector plate.
Do not use normal triaxial cable (Agilent 16494A) because the maximum current
rating of the cable is 1 A.
CAUTION Never connect the Guard terminal to any output, including circuit common, chassis
ground, or any other guard terminal. Doing so will damage the SMU.
