Safety Summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions
or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual may impair the protections provided
by the instrument. In addition, it violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and
intended use of the instrument. Keysight Technologies, Inc. assumes no liability for
customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
Product manuals may beprovided on CD-ROM or in printed form. Printed manuals are
an option for many products. Manuals may also beavailable on the Web.
NOTE Do not use this instrument in any manner not specified by the manufacturer. The
protective features of this instrument may be impaired if it is used in a manner not
specified in the operation instructions.
This instrument is an INDOOR USE product.
This instrument complies with INSTALLATION CATEGORY II for mains input and
INSTALLATION CATEGORY I for measurement input terminals, and POLLUTION DEGREE 2
defined in IEC 61010-1.
If an instrument is marked CAT I (IEC Measurement Category I), or it is not marked with a
measurement category, its measurement terminals must not be connected to
line-voltage mains.
Safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the assembler of
the system.
WARNING Hazardous voltage, instrument maximum output voltage may appear at the measurement
terminals (High, Force, Guard, and Sense) if Interlock terminal is closed. Open the
Interlock terminal when the measurement terminals are accessible. Voltage applied to
the terminals will be limited up to ±42 V.
Do not work the interlock function intentionally in order to bring the output voltage to the
safe level. While the high voltage indicator is lit, the dangerous voltage by the output
voltage or the residual charge appears on the measurement terminal.

•DANGEROUS PROCEDURE WARNINGS
Warnings, such as WARNING on the previous page, shall be complied. Procedures
throughout in this manual prevent you from potentially hazard. Their instructions
contained in the warnings must be followed.
•BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that all safety precautions are taken. Make all connections to the instrument
before applying power. Note the instrument's external markings described under
“Safety Symbols”.
•GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
This is Safety Class I instrument. To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis
and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The power terminal and the
power cable must meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety
standards.
•DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite
safety hazard.
•DO NOT REMOVE COVERS
No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. To
prevent electrical shock do not remove covers.
•IN CASE OF DAMAGE
Instruments that appear damaged or defective should be made inoperative and
secured against unintended operation until they can be repaired by qualified service
personnel. Return the instrument to a Keysight Technologies sales or service office
for services and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
•USE ONLY THE SPECIFIC ACCESSORIES

WARNING A WARNING notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure,
practice, or the like that, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in personal
injury or death. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING notice until the indicated conditions
are fully understood and met.
CAUTION A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure, practice,
or the like that, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in damage to the
product or loss of important data. Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION notice until the
indicated conditions are fully understood and met.

Power Supply and Measurement Safety
•PowerSupplySafety
This instrument can output high currents and voltages. Make sure that the load or
device under test can safely handle the output current and voltage. Also, make sure
that the connection leads can safely withstand the expected currents and are
insulated for the expected voltages.
The instrument outputs may be connected so as to float relative to earth ground.
Isolation or floating voltage ratings are indicated on the instrument, near the output
terminal or the Circuit Common terminal. There is the danger of electric shock by
touching the floated measurement terminals. Keep in mind it to protect yourself. And
it is a reason of using the recommended accessories.
• Voltage/Current Measurement Safety
Multimeters and other instruments capable of measuring high voltages and currents
are subject to specific safety concerns because of the circuits to which they may be
connected. To safely use these instruments, you need to understand the markings on
the instrument near the input terminals, which include the Protection Limits and the
IEC Measurement Category.
• Protection Limits
Keysight multimeters and other voltage measurement instruments provide protection
circuitry to prevent damage to the instrument and to protect against the danger of
electric shock, provided the Protection Limits are not exceeded. To ensure safe
operation of the instrument, do not exceed the Protection Limits shown on the input
terminals.
• Source/Monitor Terminals
Source/monitor unit, SMU, can simultaneously perform DC voltage or current output
and measurement. Typical SMU has the Force, Guard, Sense, and Circuit Common
terminals as shown below. Normally the Force, Guard, and Sense terminals are the
same potential. Voltage marked around the terminals indicates the Protection Limits.
Force and Sense must be connected to a terminal of a device under test for the Kelvin
connection which is effective for high current measurement and low resistance
measurement. For the non-Kelvin connection to ease the connections, connect Force
only. Do not connect Sense. It must be opened.

Guard should be extended to around the device terminal for reducing leakage current
caused by a coaxial cable used. Guard must be never connected to anything at the
device side.
Circuit Common should be connected to shielding of the coaxial cable used.
The following image is the Kelvin triaxial connector of High Power SMU.
• To Avoid Risk of Residual Charge
This graph shows the load capacitance vs voltage characteristics generally
considered as safety. Use the instrument within the safety area up to 0.1 F or 45 C
according to the voltage. Also do not connect the capacitive load over the maximum
load capacitance specified for the instrument, for example 10 nF for HVSMU and 5 nF
for UHVU.
Before touching the measurement terminal, confirm that it has been discharged
enough. For that, ground and discharge the terminals over 10 seconds after stopping
the high voltage output, and confirm that they have been safety voltage by using
another volt meter.
If abnormal end of measurement, breaking of cable, or device damage occurs, do not
touch the terminals until they are discharged enough.
Also if a series resistor such as N1262A-020, N1262A-021, and N1262A-023 is
connected, do not touch the terminal until it is discharged enough.

High Voltage Shock Hazard
Keysight B1505A can force dangerous voltages (±10 kVdc for UHVU, ±3000 Vdc for
HVSMU, ±2200 Vpulse for HVMCU, ±200 Vdc for HPSMU, and ±100 Vdc for MPSMU) at
the High, Force, Guard, and Sense terminals. To prevent electric shock hazard, the
following safety precautions must be observed during the use of Keysight B1505A.
• Connect the instrument to an electrical ground (safety ground) by using
three-conductor AC power cable.
• Before performing measurement, connect the interlock circuit to the Interlock
terminal of this instrument.
• Confirm periodically that the interlock function works normally.
• Before touching the connections of the High, Force, Guard, and Sense terminals, turn
the instrument off and discharge any capacitors of the measurement path. If you do
not turn the instrument off, complete “all” of the following items, regardless of any
instrument settings.
• Terminate measurement by pressing the Stop key, confirm that the Measurement
status indicator is not lit.
• Confirm that the High Voltage indicator is not lit.
• Open the shielding box access door (open the Interlock terminal).
• Discharge any capacitors if the capacitance is connected to an SMU.
• Warn workers in the vicinity of the instrument about hazardous conditions.
