Installation
Installing Accessories
Connecting the interlock terminal
The B1500A provides the Interlock connector to prevent you from receiving an
electrical shock from high voltage (more than ± 42 V). If the Interlock connector is
open, the B
1500A cannot force high voltage more than ± 42 V.
When using the 16442B test fixture, connect the Interlock connectors together using
the 16493J i
nterlock cable.
If you use the 16495F/G/H/J connector plate, your own connector plate, or your own
test fi
xture, make an interlock circuit as shown in “To Make an Interlock Circuit” on
page 3-29. Then connect the B1500A Interlock connector to the external inter
lock
connector by using the 16493J interlock cable.
If you use a connector plate or test fixture that has a BNC coaxial connector for the
interlock connecto
r, connect the BNC interlock connector to the B1500A interlock
terminal as follows:
• Required Parts:
• Procedure:
1. Connect the Interlock connector on the B1500A rear panel to the interlock
cab
le adapter us
ing the 16493J interlock cable.
2. Connect the interlock cable adapter to the BNC i
nterlock connector using the
coaxial cable furnished with the 16435A.
