CAUTION!
Do not unpack or plug in any components until they are configured for
the proper operating voltage by the service representative.
WARNING!
For safety, the power outlet for the instrument must be accessible at all
times. See “Instrument dimensions” on page 170 for information about the space
needed between the wall and the instrument. In case of emergency, you must be
able to immediately disconnect the main power supply to all the equipment. Allow
adequate space between the wall and the equipment so that the power cords can be
disconnected in case of emergency.
• Electric receptacle required: Grounding capability required
• Maximum power dissipation: ~417 VA, 371 W (not including computer and
monitor)
• Mains AC line voltage tolerances must be up to ±10 percent of nominal voltage
