Connection
Connecting to a DUT
3.1.2 Floating
In the default setting, the Low Force and Low Sense terminals are connected to the chassis
ground. However, they can be disconnected from the ground fro the floating
measurements.
This setup is effective for differential voltage measurements which usually require two
channels as shown in the Grounded 2 connection.
Figure 3-3 Grounded and Floating measurement
CAUTION Maximum current to the chassis ground is 3 A DC.
WARNING Potentially hazardous voltages of up to ±210 V may be present at the Low Force and
Low Sense terminals. To prevent electrical shock, use the accessories comply with the
ICE 61010-20-031. The terminals and the extended conductors must be isolated by
using the insulation cap, sleeve, etc.
3.1.3 To use Test Leads
Type of the B2900A source/measure terminals is the banana jack. For connecting a DUT,
the U8201A Combo Test Lead Kit or the 11059A Kelvin Probe Set is available. The
following Figure shows the connections for the two-terminal device measurements.
