INSTALLATION

 

 

VISUAL CHECK

 

 

After  unpacking  the   instrument   mainframe  and   the  transformer   module,  examine   to
ensure that they have not been damaged in shipment. Visually inspect all connectors,
knobs, and handles. Confirm that a power cord and an instrumentation manual (this
manual),  are with the instrument. If the instrument has been damaged,  file a claim
immediately with the company that transported the instrument.

POWER RATINGS

 

 

This instrument is intended to operate from 100 - 240 V, 50 - 60 Hz. 

The maximum power consumption is 57 Watts. Please see the “FUSES” section for
information about the appropriate AC and DC fuses.

This instrument is an “Installation Category II” instrument, intended for operation from a
normal single-phase supply.

CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

 

 

An IEC-320 three-pronged recessed male socket is provided on the back panel for AC
power connection to the instrument.  One end of the detachable power cord  that is
supplied with the instrument plugs into this socket. The other end of the detachable
power cord plugs into the local mains supply. Use only the cable supplied with the
instrument.   The   mains   supply   must   be   earthed,   and   the   cord   used   to   connect   the
instrument to the mains supply must provide an earth connection. (The supplied cord
does this.) 

 Warning: Failure to use a grounded outlet may result in injury or death due to 

electric shock. This product uses a power cord with a ground connection. It must be 
connected to a properly grounded outlet. The instrument chassis is connected to the 
ground wire in the power cord.

The table below describes the power cord that is normally supplied with this instrument,
depending on the destination region:
