Figure 8. Voltage Drop Across a Diode+–HILOHILORequirements for Cables and ProbesThe DMM shipping kit contains a pair of test probes with safety banana plugs. These probesmeet international safety requirements, including UL 3111 and IEC-1010-1, for the full rangeof applications supported by the DMM.Caution Before using any probes or accessories, ensure that they meet applicablesafety requirements for the signal levels you may encounter.Connect the test probes to the banana plug connectors on the DMM front panel using safetybanana plugs. The shrouds around the banana plugs prevent you from contacting potentiallyhazardous voltages connected to the test probes. You can also connect the cable to standard,unshrouded banana plug probes or accessories. Use unshrouded probes or accessories onlywhen the voltages are less than 30 Vrms and 42 Vpk, or 60 VDC.Caution (NI 4081 users) To prevent possible safety hazards, the maximum voltagebetween any of the inputs and the ground of the PXI Express chassis is 500 VDC or500 Vrms (sine wave), except between the HI terminal and ground, where themaximum voltage is 1,000 VDC or700 Vrms (sine wave). The maximum current theNI 4081 can measure through the current inputs is ±3 ADC or 3 Arms.Caution (NI 4080/4082 users) To prevent possible safety hazards, the maximumvoltage between any of the inputs and the ground of the computer is 300 VDC or300 Vrms. The maximum current the NI 4080/4082 can measure through the currentinputs is ±1 ADC or 1 Arms.10 | ni.com | NI PXIe-4080/4081/4082 Getting Started GuideArtisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...
