Installation and Maintenance AC Line Power Supply Requirements
204 Agilent 8163A Lightwave Multimeter, Agilent 8164A Lightwave Measurement
System, & Agilent 8166A Lightwave Multichannel System, Fourth Edition
• If this instrument is to be energized via an autotransformer for voltage
reduction, ensure that the Common terminal connects to the earth pole of the
power source.
• Insert the power cable plug only into a socket outlet provided with a protective
earth contact. Do not negate this protective action by the using an extension
cord without a protective conductor.
• Before switching on the instrument, the protective earth terminal of the
instrument must be connected to a protective conductor. You can do this by
using the power cord supplied with the instrument.
• Do not interrupt the protective earth connection intentionally.
The following work must be carried out by a qualified electrician. All local
electrical codes must be strictly observed. If the plug on the cable does not fit the
power outlet, or if the cable is to be attached to a terminal block, cut the cable at
the plug end and rewire it.
The color coding used in the cable depends on the cable supplied. If you are
connecting a new plug, it should meet the local safety requirements and include
the following features:
• Adequate load-carrying capacity (see table of specifications).
• Ground connection.
• Cable clamp.
The AC power requirements are summarized on the rear panel of the instrument.
