1.
DANGER!
Risk of electric shock. Before you connect the V-network to the power
source, you have to connect the R&S
AMN6500 to a protective ground terminal. An
unearthed R&S
AMN6500 is live. Touching a live electrical device causes serious
personal injury, or even death.
The protective ground connection must remain until you have disconnected the V-
network from the power supply.
Connect the R&S
AMN6500 to the mains power supply.
2. If the phase connection is made correctly, LED L1 (1) must light up.
If it does not:
● For mains plugs with symmetrical grounding connection (e.g. Schuko plugs)
the plug's polarity must be reversed.
● For mains plugs with asymmetrical grounding connection, phase L1 and neutral
N must be swapped by reconnecting.
● For country-specific sockets, see
Chapter A, "Country-specific connector mod-
1
The plug on the mains cable can be adapted using a country-specific adapter.
However, it must be ensured that the adapter has a power rating of at least 16 A.
Assembly must be carried out exclusively by qualified technicians.

Operating on non-standardized voltages
For measurement tasks on voltages that are outside the normal mains voltage ranges
(e.g. <90 VAC) and operation on DC (max. 28 VDC) the R&S
AMN6500 control circuit
is powered by an external power supply.
1. Make sure that the DC voltage does not exceed 28 VDC. Higher DC voltages may
damage the equipment.
2.
DANGER!
Risk of electric shock. Make sure that the external power supply com-
plies with the requirements for reinforced/double insulation in accordance with
DIN/EN/IEC/UL/CSA 61010-1, DIN/EN/IEC/UL/CSA 60950-1 or
Operating on non-standardized voltages
