SECTION 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Model 7053 is a high current scanner card with the maximum capabilities
of 3OOV. 5A or lOOV*A switching Iresistive load onlyl. Signal levels of this
magnitude may be found in applications such as power semiconductor
testing. The Model 7053 can also be used in monitoring currents from DC
power supplies in general purpose ATE bench or laboraton, applications. For
easy input and output wiring the Model 7053 is designed with quick disconnect screw terminals. Each channel has a HI and LO connection with a common guard. Each of the 10 channels consist of a single Z-pole Form C relay.
The card is field installable in an appropriate Keithley .scanner mainframe (e.g.
Model 7051 via the mainframe’s rear panel. Channel switching is accomplished
in less than 15msec (exclusive of mainframe) and the specified relay life is
greater than IO’closures (greater than IO5 closures at maximum signal levels).
With the Model 7053’s high channel isolation (>lO%l), it is well insulated from
cross channel noise and interference. The Model 7053’s high input isolation
l>lO%l reduces loading to a minimum.
1.2 WARRANTY INFORMATION
Warranty information is stated on the inside front cwer of this manual. If there
is a need for service, contact the Keithley representative or authorized repair
facility in your area. Check the back cover of this manual for addresses. The
service form supplied at the end of the manual should be used to provide the
repair facility with adequate information concerning any difficulty.
