NOTE
To keep users safe, always read and follow all safety warnings
provided with each of the instruments in your system.
Install the instrument
You can use the 2182A on a bench or in a rack. See the
instructions that came with your rack-mount kit if you are
installing the 2182A in a rack.
To prevent damaging heat build-up and ensure specified
performance, make sure there is adequate ventilation and
airflow around the instrument to ensure proper cooling. Do
not cover the ventilation holes on the top, sides, or bottom of
the instrument.
Position the instrument so that it is easy to reach any
disconnecting devices, such as the power cord and the
power switch.
Connect line power
The 2182A operates from a line voltage of 100 V ac,
120 V ac, 220 V ac, or 240 V ac at line frequencies of 45 Hz
to 66 Hz or 360 Hz to 440 Hz. It automatically senses line
frequency. Make sure the operating voltage in your area
is compatible.
WARNING
The power cord supplied with the 2182A 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
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.
