Grounding
Caution A proper earth ground is required for GC operations.
To protect users, the metal instrument panels and cabinet are grounded through
the three-conductor power line cord in accordance with International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) requirements.
The three-conductor power line cord, when plugged into a properly grounded
receptacle, grounds the instrument and minimizes shock hazard. A properly
grounded receptacle is one that is connected to a suitable earth ground. Proper
receptacle grounding should be verified.
Make sure the GC is connected to a dedicated receptacle. Use of a dedicator
receptacle reduces interference.
Caution Any interruption of the grounding conductor or disconnection of the power cord
could cause a shock that could result in personal injury.
Line voltage
The GC operates from one of the AC voltage supplies listed in Table 2, depending
on the standard voltage of the country from which it was ordered. GCs are
designed to work with a specific voltage; make sure your GC voltage option is
appropriate for your lab. The voltage requirements for your GC are printed near
the power cord attachment.
