1730–Series Introduction

Safety Information
The 1730-Series is intended to operate from an ac power source that will not
apply more than 250 V rms between the supply conductors or between either
supply conductor and ground. A protective ground connection by way of the
grounding conductor is essential for safe operation (except for those instruments
that are operated from a battery supply).
The 1730-Series was tested for compliance in a cabinet. To ensure continued
compliance, the instrument will need to be enclosed in a cabinet that is equiva-
lent to the Factory Upgrade Kits that are listed as Optional Accessories for the
1730-Series. A drawing of the 1700F00 plain cabinet is contained in the
Installation Instructions (Section 3).
Specification
In the specification tables that follow, some items are identified as performance
requirements. These can be verified by performing the Performance Check
Procedure in Section 5. Not all performance requirements have a measureable
tolerance, and therefore do not have a performance check step; however, they are
either verified by indirect means, through other portions of the procedure, or are
design criteria that do not need to be tested for individual instruments.
Whenever there is a verifiable performance requirement, in the specification
table, there will also be a reference to identify the location, in the Performance
Check Procedure, of the appropriate performance verification procedure.
The supplemental Information designation in the tables indicates that this is
information that either amplifies a performance requirement or is special
information that is of importance. Unlike performance requirements, there is no
need, and often no way to check these items to any specific tolerance.
