3.3 LINE
INPUT
ASSEMBLY
This section describes how to properly connect the Model 370 to line power. Please follow these instructions carefully to
ensure proper operation of the instrument and the safety of operators.

3.3.1 Line
Voltage
The Model 370 has four different AC line voltages configurations so that it can be operated from line power anywhere in
the world. The nominal voltage and voltage range of each configuration is shown below. (The recommended setting for
230 V operation is 240 V.)
Nominal Minimum Maximum
100 V
90 V
106 V
120 V
108 V
127 V
220 V
198 V
233 V
240 V
216 V
254 V
Verify that the AC line voltage indicator in the fuse drawer window shows the appropriate AC line voltage before
turning the instrument on. The instrument may be damaged if it is turned on with the wrong voltage selected. Instructions
for changing the line voltage configuration are given in Paragraph 8.4.
3.3.2
Line Fuse and Fuse Holder
The line fuse is an important safety feature of the Model 370. If a fuse ever fails, it is important to replace it with the
value and type indicated on the rear panel for the line voltage setting. The letter T on the fuse rating indicates that the
instrument requires a time-delay or slow-blow fuse. Fuse values should be verified any time line voltage configuration is
changed. Instructions for changing and verifying a line fuse are given in Paragraph 8.5.
3.3.3 Power
Cord
The Model 370 includes a 3-conductor power cord that mates with the IEC 320-C14 line cord receptacle. Line voltage is
present on the two outside conductors and the center conductor is a safety ground. The safety ground attaches to the
instrument chassis and protects the user in case of a component failure. A CE approved power cord is included with
instruments shipped to Europe; a domestic power cord is included with all other instruments (unless otherwise specified
when ordered). Always plug the power cord into a properly grounded receptacle to ensure safe operation of the
instrument.
The delicate nature of measurement being taken with this instrument may necessitate additional grounding including
ground strapping of the instrument chassis. In these cases the operators safety should remain the highest priority and low
impedance from the instrument chassis to safety ground should always be maintained.
3.3.4 Power
Switch
The power switch is part of the line input assembly on the rear panel of the Model 370 and turns line power to the
instrument On and Off. When the circle is depressed, power is Off. When the line is depressed, power is On.
