POWER AND GROUND REQUIREMENTS
The Model 1015 requires a power source of 100, 120, 220 or 240
VAC (+5%, –10%), 50 to 60 Hz single phase. The instrument
includes a three-prong detachable power cord for 120 VAC operation
which mates with the rear panel UL/IEC/ICEE Standard plug.
CAUTION:
Verify that the rear panel AC Line Voltage Selection
Wheel (Figure 3-2, Key 1) is set to the AC voltage source
to be used (Table 2-1) and that the proper fuse is
installed before inserting the power cord and turning on
the instrument.
To protect operating personnel, the National Electrical Manufacturer's
Association (NEMA) recommends, and some local codes require,
instrument panels and cabinets be gounded. This instrument is
equipped with a three-conductor power cable which, when plugged
into an appropriate receptacle, grounds the instrument.

that usually accompany high vacuum pumping systems.
