Power the instrument on or off
Follow the steps below to connect the 2470 to line power and turn on the instrument. The 2470
operates from a line voltage of 100 V to 240 V at a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. It automatically
senses line voltage and frequency. Make sure the operating voltage in your area is compatible.
You must turn on the 2470 and allow it to warm up for at least one hour to achieve rated accuracies.
Operating the instrument on an incorrect line voltage may cause damage to the instrument,
possibly voiding the warranty.
The power cord supplied with the 2470 contains a separate protective earth (safety ground)
wire for use with grounded outlets. When proper connections are made, the instrument
chassis is connected to power-line ground through the ground wire in the power cord. In
addition, a redundant protective earth connection is provided through a screw on the rear
panel. This terminal should be connected to a known protective earth. In the event of a
failure, not using a properly grounded protective earth and grounded outlet may result in
personal injury or death due to electric shock.
Do not replace detachable mains supply cords with inadequately rated cords. Failure to use
properly rated cords may result in personal injury or death due to electric shock.
