Safety

Application of the wrong supply voltage, connection of the instrument
to an incorrectly wired supply outlet, or lack of proper electrical
grounding can create a fire hazard or a potentially serious shock hazard
and could seriously damage the instrument and any attached ancillary
equipment.

Always use a three-wire outlet with ground connection which is
adequately rated for the load. The installation must comply with local,
state, and federal safety regulations.

Do not connect the instrument to the main power supply until you have
made sure that the operating voltage is correctly set for the main power
supply in the specific outlet in your laboratory to which the equipment
will be connected.
