AC power supply

Connector type

: IEC 60320-1 C14

Function

: AC input for a connection to the AC mains supply. You can connect the

R&S

QAR50 to networks with different voltage levels (see datasheet for the supported

voltage range). The power supply automatically adapts itself to the voltage level of the
power source.

The power cord necessary to connect the panel to the power supply is part of the deliv-
ery (with country-specific plug).

For more information about using the AC power supply safely, see

"Connecting to

power"

on page 6.

For more information about supplying the radio with power, see

Chapter 4.5, "Connect-

ing the R&S
