Powering the Model 2910
The Model 2910 operates within the following ranges:
•
Line voltage of 100 to 240 VAC
•
Frequency of 50 or 60 Hz.
Connect and power the Model 2910 as follows:
1. Check to be sure the operating voltage in your area is compatible with the Model 2910.
2. Operate the Model 2910 from a dedicated power source to avoid possible problems caused by
electrical transients or line voltage fluctuations.
CAUTION:
Operating the instrument on an incorrect line voltage may cause
damage, possibly voiding the warranty.
3. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure the rear panel power switch is OFF (
O
).
4. Connect the female end of the supplied power cord to the AC receptacle on the rear panel.
WARNING:
Use only the supplied, grounded line cord, or the equivalent, to
assure proper safety grounding.

5. Connect the other end of the supplied line cord to a grounded AC line power receptacle.
WARNING:
The power cord supplied with the unit contains a separate ground
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. Failure to use a grounded outlet
may result in personal injury or death due to electric shock.
6. Switch the rear panel power switch to the ON (
|
) position. The front panel power button should
have an amber illumination.
7. Switch the instrument on by pushing the front panel power button. The power button should
now have a green illumination. The 2910-VSG performs a series of self-tests. If it detects a
failure, the unit displays an error message.
NOTE:
If you notice that the power button is not illuminated or the 2910 seems
completely unresponsive after three minutes, you may need to change the
fuse. In this case, refer to “Replacing a fuse.”
NOTE:
If a problem develops, return the Model 2910 to Keithley Instruments, Inc. for
repair. Refer to “Repacking for return shipment” for more information on
returning the Model 2910 to the factory.
