Model 6487 interlock connections
How is the interlock different between a Model 487 and Model 6487?
The Model 487 uses a 3-pin DIN interlock connector, while the Model 6487 uses a 4-pin
DIN for the interlock
connection.
The Model 487 interlock prevents voltage source output only with the Model 236-ILC-3
cable connected. Without the cable connected, the Model 487 allows voltage source output
on the 50V or 500V ranges. The Model 6487 will prevent voltage source output for the
50V or 500V ranges unless pins 1 and 2 are connected through an external switch by the
customer. The Model 6487 will allow 10V range output by factory default without the
external interlock connection but can be configured to require the external interlock con-
nection.
With Model 6487 front panel operation, an open interlock will display "CLOSE INTLCK"
as an error message when attempting to operate the voltage source on the 50V and 500V
ranges. The Model 6487 in the Model 487 DDC emulation mode displays "IDDCO
ERROR" on the front panel when an "O1" command is sent. The Model 487 displays
"INTERLOCK" for the same condition. The "U9" voltage source error status word func-
tions the same for either the Model 487 or Model 6487 in DDC emulation mode.
