Step 1 Unpack your Keithley 4200-SCS
What’s in the box:
• 4200-SCS System – SMUs are built-in, and PreAmps are installed on the rear panel of the mainframe. A
PreAmp adds five lower current source-measure ranges to an SMU (10nA, 1nA, 100pA, 10pA, and 1pA).
The PreAmps can be removed from the rear panel and mounted remotely on a tester.
• Cables – 2 for each SMU.
• Y-Cable – Use to connect keyboard (with pointing device) to mainframe.
• Power cord
• 4200-SCS KTE Interactive CD-ROM
• 4200-SCS Complete Reference CD-ROM
How to lift:
• Lift the 4200-SCS from the bottom.
• Do not lift from the front bezel.
• Set on a bench or install in a rack with the optional slide rack mounting kit.
Step 2 System connections – Power cord, keyboard, and printer (optional)
Basic system connections to the 4200-SCS (shown in Figure 2) include the keyboard (which has a built-in
pointing device), the supplied power cord, and an optional printer. If using a USB printer, connect it to the
USB port.

WARNING Plug the female end of the supplied power cord into the
4200-SCS, but DO NOT connect the male end to line power at
this time. Steps 2 and 3 of this Startup Guide must be performed
with the line power disconnected.

Figure 3 shows how to connect a test fixture for a 4-terminal device to the 4200-SCS. The test fixture must
be equipped with standard 3-lug female triax connectors.
• Connections to SMUs – To connect directly to an SMU, use a Mini triax cable that is terminated with a
miniature male triax connector on one end and a standard 3-slot male triax connector on the other end.
• Connections to PreAmps – To connect to a PreAmp, use a cable that is terminated with a standard
3-slot male triax connector on both ends.
NOTE Connections are snug; push firmly.

Step 4 Power-up & log-in
A. Make sure the power switch is in the O (out) position. The POWER switch is located on the front panel
in lower right-hand corner.
B. Plug the male end of the line cord into a properly grounded AC line power receptacle.
C. Turn on the 4200-SCS by pushing in the POWER switch to the I (in) position.
D. When prompted, simultaneously press Ctrl - Alt - Del.
E. At the KIUSER prompt, press ENTER. There is no password for this account.
CAUTION When first starting a KTE-Interactive software tool, you must
answer “Yes” to an on-screen license agreement. Answering
“No” makes your system nonfunctional until you reinstall the
