Banana-plug-co-alligator-clip cables (available
through my local electronics supply house), such as
two Keithley Part No. 181620 cables, are ideal for
fast connections to the 165 input. The shorting link
provided at the input should be connected between LO
and cm for grounded operacian. IC is preferable,
to minimize rhe pas5ible effects of ground loops
(small mrrents flowing in the ground system), that

SECTION 4. ACCESSORIES
4-l. GENERAL. The following Keithley accessories
can be used with the Model 165 co provide additional
convenience and Versatility.
4-3. MODEL 1651 SO-AMPERESHUNT. The Model 1651 pic-
tured in *igure 11 is an opLiona1 acceesory chat ex-
pands the ac and dc current measuring capability of
the 165 from 2 amps to 50 amps. The 1651 is a 4-ter-
minal 0.001 ohm flX shunt that is connected externally
to the 165 input terminals. The 165 is operated in
the ac or dc volts mode manually on the 10 m,.Ui"olc
and 100 millivolt ranges or in the AUTO mode for the
convenience of automaric ranging. The voltage drop

TNa cable is ap,mximaCely 58 inches long. The outer
current-sensing terminals of the shunt should be used
to connect to the c"rrenf source. FIGURE 11. Model 1651 SO-Ampere Shunt.
