CAUTION:
1.
If the load is short-circuited, reverse polarity voltage is applied to the 4601 themselves. Depending on the set-
tings, an overload may be generated when the short-circuit occurs.
2.
Only two units can be connected in series. Do not connect three or more units in series. If the load is short-
circuited, the maximum applicable voltage will be exceeded, causing damage to the 4601.
WARNING:
In series connection, use the reference cell terminal, the voltage measurement terminal and the
temperature measurement connectors on the rear panel of the 4601 on the ground side. Do not
these terminals or connectors of the other 4601 on the high-voltage side. Otherwise, it may cause
the 4601 to be broken. Moreover, there is a risk of electrical shock. Attach the transparent terminal
cover that was mounted on delivery.
