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
the use and maintenance of equipment, for ensuring that the
equipment is operated within its specifications and operating
limits, and for ensuring that operators are adequately trained.
Operators
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
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
form 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.

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,
tive 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) 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 f ault 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.
The instrument and accessories must be used in accordance
with its specifications and operating instructions or the safety
of the equipment may be impaired.

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
might result in personal injury or death. Alw ays read the associated information very carefully before performing the indicated procedure.
The
CAUTION
could damage the instrument. Such damage may invalidate the
warranty .
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 an 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. Products that consist of a
circuit board with no case or chassis (e.g., data acquisition
board for installation into a computer) should never require
cleaning if handled according to instructions. If the board becomes contaminated and operation is affected, the board
should be returned to the factory for proper cleaning/servicing.

Operation Summary
Card type
On power-up, the Model 7002 detects Model 701X series
cards that are installed and automatically configures itself
for proper operation. Non-701X series card are not detected
by the Model 7002. The model number of each non-701X
series card must be assigned to the slot that it is installed in.
The TYPE selection in the CARD CONFIG MENU allows
you to check and/or change the card type assignment for
each slot:
Press: CARD CONFIGURATION
Select: TYPE
SLOT-#1 through SLOT-#10
Use the cursor keys ( and ) to check card type assignment for any slot. To change a slot assignment, select the
slot, use the cursor keys to change the card type and press
ENTER.
An empty slot can be used as a simulator by assigning it the
model number 9990 (40-channel multiplexer) or 9991 (4
10 matrix).

Control LEDs are also provided to perform other operations
using the light pen. Most of these LEDs simply perform the
same operations as their front panel key counterparts.
The light pen is operational when it is plugged into the front
panel receptacle labeled LIGHT PEN.
Display modes
There are two basic display modes for the Model 7002; the
relay status display mode and the list display mode. The
VFD messages for the display modes are shown as follows:
Relay Status Display Mode List Display Mode
RELAY STATUS CHANNEL LIST DISPLAY
SCAN LIST DISPLAY
or
In addition to the basic display modes, you can also control
the LED Graticule. Disbling the LED Graticule eliminates
the dimly lit state for LEDs. LEDs are either off or brightly
lit. See LED Graticule Control for more details.
Relay status display mode
In this display mode, the channel LEDs indicate the status
(open or closed) of each channel. Table 1 summarizes the
significance of the channel LEDs in this display mode.
Use the relay status display mode when closing/opening or
scanning channels so that you can monitor the real-time
state of each switch in your system.
7
List display mode
In this display mode, the channel LEDs indicate which
channels are included in the selected list (channel list or
scan list). Table 1 summarizes the significance of the channel LEDs in this display mode.
If you use this display mode when creating a list, be sure to
return to the relay status display mode so that you can monitor the real-time state (on or off) of each available channel
in your switch system.
Changing the display mode
The display mode can be changed through the MAIN
MENU:
Press: MENU
Select: GENERAL
Select: DISPLAY
