WARNING There are potentially hazardous voltages (210 V) present at the High Force,
High Sense, and Guard terminals of Agilent B2900. To prevent electrical shock,
the following safety precautions must be observed during the use of the B2900.
• Use a three-conductor AC power cord to connect the cabinet (if used) and
the B2900 to an electrical ground (safety ground).
• If you do not use the Agilent 16442B test fixture, you must install and
connect an interlock circuit that opens the interlock terminal when the
shielding box access door is opened.
• Confirm periodically that the interlock function works normally.
• Before touching the connections on the High Force, High Sense, and
Guard terminals, turn the B2900 off and discharge any capacitors. If you
do not turn the B2900 off, complete all of the following items, regardless
of the B2900 settings.
•Press the On/Off switch, and confirm that the switch turns off.
• Confirm that the On/Off switch does not turn red.
• Open the shielding box access door (open the interlock terminal).
• Discharge any capacitors connected to a channel.
• Warn persons working around the B2900 about dangerous conditions.
