Protect Your Instrument from Misuse
Check Input and Output Connectors
The arbitrary/function generator input and output connectors are floating inputs/outputs.
Use Fuse Adapter
The instrument will be damaged if a large DC or AC voltage is applied to the output or input connectors. To protect the
output circuits, a fuse adapter is provided as an optional accessory. When the instrument is used by students or other inex-
perienced users, always attach the fuse adapter to the output connectors to avoid damage.
1. The instrument has both input and
output connectors on the front panel.
When connecting a cable, be sure to
distinguish the input connector from the
output connectors.
Do not mistake Output connectors for Input.
Output Input
WARNING. To prevent electrical shocks, do not apply voltages in excess of 42 Vpk to any BNC connector ground or to the
chassis ground.
CAUTION. Do not short output pins or apply external voltages to Output connectors. The instrument may be damaged.
CAUTION. Do not apply excessive inputs over +5 V to Trigger Input connector. The instrument may be damaged.
