HM8001 - Mainframe


HM8001-1
This mainframe will hold two units from Hameg's modular instruments serie HM8000.
The HM8001 exists in two versions, the HM8001 and the HM8001-2. I will refer the HM8001 as HM8001-1 to avoid misinterpretations. The difference is that -2 has two BNC-connectors per module on the rear and a little more power. See table below for info. Note that some of the modules require HM8001-2 version since they use two rear connectors and/or consumes more power.
These unit show up on Ebay now and then. Be careful when bidding to make sure you bid on the right version. You should get the HM8001-1 (first version) for a lower price than the HM8001-2.
In some places the HM8001-2 is called HM8002.

Great care has been taken to separate the two compartments and to shield them electrically.
Note the coaxial cables to the rear connectors for extra in/outputs from some modules.

 


Each connector is clearly marked with the voltages that are supplied.
Pin 1 on lower row is connected to ground on the HM8001-1.

If you intend to use the HM8001-1 with a module that uses pin 1 as an input or worse as an output I recommend that you remove the pin from the connector since it is not possible to use it isolated.
