Connectors
Bode 100 provides the following three connectors at the front panel:
•
OUTPUT: signal output (BNC socket)
•
CH 1: channel 1 signal input (BNC socket)
•
CH 2: channel 2 signal input (BNC socket)

WARNING
Death or severe injury can occur if hazardous voltages are connected to the
Bode 100.
Bode 100 is a SELV device (SELV = Safety Extra Low Voltage according to IEC
60950-1), also known as protection class III or ES1 equipment according to IEC
62368-1).
► Do not apply voltage levels > 50 V DC or > 25 V AC to the inputs of Bode 100.
► When working with external voltage or current sources in the test setup, ensure
that they can not exceed the SELV levels and provide appropriate isolation to other
hazardous circuits, such as the AC line voltage supply.
► Be aware that the Bode 100 has no indicator to show if the output is active. This
could be especially critical if amplifiers are connected to the Bode 100
Bode 100 provides the following three connectors at the rear panel:
•
Supply power input for DC voltages from 9 V to 24 V (5.5 mm coaxial plug with 2.5 mm pin)
•
USB: data interface (USB type B port)
•
: Ground connector for external ground connection (4 mm banana-socket)
