AC line voltage is set at Lake Shore, but it is good to verify that the AC line voltage indica-
tor in the fuse drawer window is appropriate before turning the instrument on. The
instrument may be damaged if turned on with the wrong voltage selected. Also remove
and verify that the proper fuse is installed before plugging in and turning on the instru-
ment. Refer to section 8.5 for instructions on changing the line voltage configuration.
3.4.2 Line Fuse and
Fuse Holder
The line fuse is an important safety feature of the Model 372. 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. Refer to section 8.6 for instructions for changing and
verifying a line fuse.
3.4.3 Power Cord
The Model 372 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 instru-
ment operation.
Position the Model 372 in such a way to enable easy access to the disconnecting device.
Failure to comply could result in death or injury to personnel.
If the power supply cord is damaged or lost, it must be replaced. Contact Lake Shore for a
replacement to ensure proper voltage, current and type of cord. The power supply cord
must not exceed 3 m (10 ft) in length.
The delicate nature of the measurements being taken with this instrument may
necessitate additional grounding including ground strapping of the instrument chas-
sis. In these cases the operator’s safety should remain the highest priority and low
impedance from the instrument chassis to safety ground should always be main-
tained.
3.4.4 Power Switch
The power switch is part of the line input assembly on the rear panel of the Model 372
and turns line power to the instrument on and off. When the circle symbol is
depressed, power is off. When the line symbol is depressed, power is on.
3.5 Resistor Input
Connection and
Cabling
Signals being measured by the Model 372 are so small that the measurement envi-
ronment must be taken into account when connecting resistors to the instrument
input. This section describes how to attach a resistive sensor to the Model 372, and
suggests ways to manage measurement noise. Understanding the information given
in this section before installing the Model 372 can save hours of troubleshooting.
Additional information on installing the 3726 scanner is given in section 3.6.
