To prevent electric shock accidents and damage to the equipment, always
observe the following precautions when making connections to external
terminal blocks and external connectors.
• Before making connections, turn off the power on the instrument and the
equipment to connect.
• Do not exceed the specified signal levels for signals supplied to external
terminal blocks and external connectors.
• Ensure that devices and systems to be connected to the External Control
terminals are properly isolated.
• The ground pins of external control connectors are not isolated from the instru-
ment’s ground. Connect so that no potential difference arise between external
control connector ground and the ground of the connection object. Failure to
observe this precaution can result in damage to the connection object and the
instrument.
• Do not short circuit the SYNC.OUT jack and the ground of the instrument, or
apply external voltage. Doing so can result in damage to the instrument.
Connecting the SYNC.OUT Jack and the EXT.SMPL Jack (BNC connector)
• When disconnecting BNC connectors, be sure to release the lock before pull-
ing the connectors apart. Forcibly pulling a connector without releasing the
lock, or pulling on the cable, can damage the connector.
