Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions should be observed before using
this product and any associated instrumentation. Although some in­struments and accessories would normally be used with non-haz­ardous voltages, there are situations where hazardous conditions
may be present.

This product is intended for use by qualified personnel who recog­nize shock hazards and are familiar with the safety precautions re­quired to avoid possible injury. Read the operating information
carefully before using the product.

The types of product users are:

Responsible body is the individual or group responsible for the use

and maintenance of equipment, and for ensuring that operators are
adequately trained.

Operators use the product for its intended function. They must be

trained in electrical safety procedures and proper use of the instru­ment. They must be protected from electric shock and contact with
hazardous live circuits.

Maintenance personnel perform routine procedures on the product

to keep it operating, for example, setting the line voltage or replac­ing consumable materials. Maintenance procedures are described in
the manual. The procedures explicitly state if the operator may per­form them. Otherwise, they should be performed only by service
personnel.

Service personnel are trained to work on live circuits, and perform

safe installations and repairs of products. Only properly trained ser­vice personnel may perform installation and service procedures.

Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present. Lethal
voltage may be present on cable connector jacks or test fixtures. The
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) states that a shock
hazard exists when voltage levels greater than 30V RMS, 42.4V
peak, or 60VDC are present. A good safety practice is to expect

that hazardous voltage is present in any unknown circuit bef ore
measuring.

Users of this product must be protected from electric shock at all
times. The responsible body must ensure that users are prevented
access and/or insulated from every connection point. In some cases,
connections must be exposed to potential human contact. Product
users in these circumstances must be trained to protect themselves
from the risk of electric shock. If the circuit is capable of operating
at or above 1000 volts, no conductive part of the circuit may be

exposed.

As described in the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) Standard IEC 664, digital multimeter measuring circuits
(e.g., Keithley Models 175A, 199, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2010)
measuring circuits are Installation Category II. All other instru­ments’ signal terminals are Installation Category I and must not be
connected to mains.

Do not connect switching cards directly to unlimited power circuits.
They are intended to be used with impedance limited sources.
NEVER connect switching cards directly to AC mains. When con­necting sources to switching cards, install protective devices to lim­it fault current and voltage to the card.

Before operating an instrument, make sure the line cord is connect­ed to a properly grounded power receptacle. Inspect the connecting
cables, test leads, and jumpers for possible wear, cracks, or breaks
before each use.

For maximum safety, do not touch the product, test cables, or any
other instruments while power is applied to the circuit under test.
ALWAYS remove power from the entire test system and discharge
any capacitors before: connecting or disconnecting cables or jump­ers, installing or removing switching cards, or making internal
changes, such as installing or removing jumpers.

Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to the
common side of the circuit under test or power line (earth) ground.
Always make measurements with dry hands while standing on a
dry, insulated surface capable of withstanding the voltage being
measured.

Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the instruments and ac­cessories, as defined in the specifications and operating informa­tion, and as shown on the instrument or test fixture panels, or
switching card.

When fuses are used in a product, replace with same type and rating
for continued protection against fire hazard.

Chassis connections must only be used as shield connections for
measuring circuits, NOT as safety earth ground connections.

If you are using a test fixture, keep the lid closed while power is ap­plied to the device under test. Safe operation requires the use of a
lid interlock.

If a screw is present, connect it to safety earth ground using the
wire recommended in the user documentation.

!

The symbol on an instrument indicates that the user should re­fer to the operating instructions located in the manual.

The symbol on an instrument shows that it can source or mea­sure 1000 volts or more, including the combined effect of normal
and common mode voltages. Use standard safety precautions to
avoid personal contact with these voltages.

The WARNING heading in a manual explains dangers that might
result in personal injury or death. Alw ays read the associated infor ­mation very carefully before performing the indicated procedure.

Instrumentation and accessories shall not be connected to humans.

Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the line cord and
all test cables.

To maintain protection from electric shock and fire, replacement
components in mains circuits, including the power transformer, test
leads, and input jacks, must be purchased from Keithley Instru­ments. Standard fuses, with applicable national safety approvals,
may be used if the rating and type are the same. Other components
that are not safety related may be purchased from other suppliers as
long as they are equivalent to the original component. (Note that se­lected parts should be purchased only through Keithley Instruments
to maintain accuracy and functionality of the product.) If you are
unsure about the applicability of a replacement component, call a
Keithley Instruments office for information.

To clean the instrument, use a damp cloth or mild, water based
cleaner. Clean the exterior of the instrument only. Do not apply
cleaner directly to the instrument or allow liquids to enter or spill
on the instrument.

The CAUTION heading in a manual explains hazards that could
damage the instrument. Such damage may invalidate the warranty.

Relay Switch Configuration

Introduction

This section covers the basic single-pole, single-throw
(SPST) switch configuration.

Basic switch configuration (SPST)

A simplified schematic of the Model 7037 relay switch con­figuration is shown in Figure 2-1. The card has 30 indepen­dent channels. Each channel is made up of a single-pole,
single-throw (SPST), normally open (NO) switch.

Digital I/O Configuration

Introduction

This section covers the basic digital input and output config­urations for the Model 7037. Connection information for
these configurations is provided in Section 4 of this manual,
while operation (front panel and IEEE-488 bus) is explained
in Section 5.

Digital outputs

Output channels are user configurable for negative (low) or
positive (high) true logic. That is, the output can be high or
low when the channel is turned on (closed) depending upon
user configuration. Conversely, the output can be high or low
when the channel is turned off (open). Refer to Section 4 to
configure the logic to your requirement.

Controlling pull-up devices

T ypically , the digital outputs are used to provide driv e for rel­atively high current devices such as solenoids, relays, and
small motors. The configurations for these applications are
shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1 allows you to use an external
voltage source (V) for devices that require a higher voltage
(42V maximum). An internal jumper is used to select the
internal pull-up voltage. At the factory, the internal 5V
source is selected.

Each output channel uses a fly-back diode for protection
when switching an inductive device, such as a solenoid coil.
This diode diverts the potentially damaging fly-back voltage
away from the driver.

CAUTION

Failure to set J201 to the Vext position
when using external pull-up voltages
may result in damage to the output
drivers.

When interfacing outputs to high-impedance devices (i.e.,
logic devices), internal pull-up resistors are used to
achieve the appropriate logic level. Figure 3-2 shows the
output configuration using the 10k Ω pull-up resistor (Rp).

The configuration in Figure 3-2 uses the internal 5V source
as the high logic level. If you need a higher logic level, you
can place the jumper in the alternate position and apply an
external voltage (via V

EXT

).

Digital inputs

Input channels use positive true logic but can be pulled up or
pulled down based on the configuration of the pull-up resis­tor. Each channel uses a 10k Ω pull-up resistor (R
up resistors can be pulled up to 5V or pulled down to ground
depending on the positioning of the jumper on the input
logic bank. Refer to Section 4 for more information. Figure
3-3 shows the resistor being pulled up to 5V.

). The pull-

When the resistor is connected to 5V, the channel is pulled
high. Thus, with nothing connected to the channel, the input
is pulled high to 5V which displays the channel as on.

When the resistor is connected to ground, the channel is
pulled low. Thus, with nothing connected to the channel, the
input is pulled low to ground which displays the channel as
off.

The digital input is compatible with external TTL logic.
Each built-in pull-up resistor provides level shifting so
devices such as micro-switches can be monitored. Each input
has a protection network that clamps the input at 5.7V. This
allows logic levels up to 42V peak to be monitored.

Introduction

WARNING

The procedures in this section are
intended only for qualified service per­sonnel. Do not perform these proce­dures unless qualified to do so. Failure
to recognize and observe normal safety
precautions could result in personal
injury or death.

The information in this section is arranged as follows:

• Handling precaution — Explains precautions that

must be followed to prevent contamination to the card.
Contamination could degrade the performance of the
card.

• Digital I/O connections — Explains the voltage source
jumpers, pull-up resistors, output logic, and input resis­tance and how to configure them.

• Multi-pin (mass termination) connector card — Cov-

ers the basic connections to the 96-pin DIN male con­nector and identifies each terminal.

• Typical relay switch connection scheme — Provides

a typical connection scheme for a relay switch
configuration.

• Typical digital I/O connection schemes — Provides

some typical connection schemes for output solenoid,
relay, motor, and logic device control and for input
micro-switch monitoring.

• Model 7037 installation and removal — Provides the

procedures to install and remove the card from the
Model 7001/7002 mainframe.

Handling precautions

To maintain high impedance isolation, care should be taken
when handling the relay and connector cards to avoid con­tamination from such foreign materials as body oils. Such
contamination can substantially lower leakage resistances,
thus degrading performance.

To avoid possible contamination, always grasp the relay and
connector cards by the side edges or shields. Do not touch
the board surfaces or components. On connectors, do not
touch areas adjacent to the electrical contacts. Dirt buildup
over a period of time is another possible source of contami­nation. To avoid this problem, operate the mainframe and
card in a clean environment.

If a card becomes contaminated, it should be thoroughly
cleaned as explained in Section 6.

Digital I/O connections

Voltage source jumper

Digital output high uses the internal +5V source as the high
logic level. If higher voltages are required, a user-supplied
voltage can be used (42V maximum). At the factory, the
internal jumper is set to use the internal +5V source.

CAUTION

A plug-in jumper for the bank allows you to select the inter­nal +5V source or an external source. In Figure 4-1, the
banks are using the external voltage source.

Voltage source jumper for output channels

The voltage source jumper is located on the connector board
as shown in Figure 4-2. Figure 4-3 shows how the plug-in
jumper is installed on J201.

Pull-up resistors

When interfacing outputs to high-impedance devices (i.e.,
logic devices), pull-up resistors are used to achieve the
appropriate logic level. These resistors are installed at the
factory.

Failure to set J201 to the Vext position
when using external pull-up voltages
may result in damage to the output
drivers.
