1.5.1 General Installation
Unpack Instrument
Carefully unpack the instrument, removing it from its plastic bag. Report any damage to your
freight carrier at once. The box should also contain the Owner’s Manual and a serial cable.
NOTE: Retain the original packing material for future use in the event that the instrument is
shipped to another location or returned for service.
Instrument Mounting and Use
Place the instrument on a flat working surface capable of safely supporting the weight of the
instrument (approx. 21 lbs, 9.5 kg). Excessive vibration during reading may cause poor
repeatability; thus, a sturdy working surface is required. A clearance of at least 3 inches (8cm)
around the instrument is required to assure optimal ventilation. It is recommended that the
instrument be operated within an ambient temperature range of 18-35°C and humidity of less
than 80%.
Power Switch Position
When installing the power cord or if changing the setting on the voltage select switch the unit
should be turned off. Look at the rear panel of the instrument to check that the power switch is
in the Off position.
Power Cord Requirements
Use only the power cord specified for this product and certified for the country of use. For 110-
120 V units used inside the US use a UL listed cord set consisting of a minimum 18 AWG, Type
SVT or SJT three conductor cord, maximum 3 meters (10 feet) in length, rated 10 A, 125 V, with
a parallel blade, grounding type attachment plug.
For 220-240 V units used inside the US use a UL listed cord as above, except rated 250 V, with
a tandem blade, grounding type attachment plug. The cord set provided by the manufacturer
meets these requirements.
Safety Grounding
Do not alter or defeat the safety grounding methods provided. To avoid the risk of electric shock,
the third prong of the AC power plug must be connected to conductive parts internal to the
equipment. Internal fasteners to grounding points are marked by the IEC 417 symbol 5019
. DO NOT loosen or remove these fasteners or connections. An alternate method of
grounding is provided by connecting the grounding terminal located on the rear panel, to a
suitable ground.
To avoid electric shock, the power cord protection ground conductor must be connected to
ground.
