Power Cable
In accordance with international safety standards, this instrument
is equipp ed with a three-wire power cable. When connected to an
appropriate power line outlet, this cable grounds the instrument
cabinet. Figure 3-1 shows the styles of plugs available on p ower
cables supplied with AgilentTechnologies instruments. The part
numbers indicated are part numb ers for the complete power
cable/plug set. The specic type of p ower cable/plug shipped with
the instrument depends upon the country of shipment destination.
WARNING
This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing
ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only be
inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact.
Any interruption of the protective conductor, inside or outside the
instrument, is likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional
interruption is prohibited.
CAUTION
Always use the three-prong ac p ower cord supplied with this
instrument. Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding b
y not using
this cord may cause instrument damage.
The oset prong of the three-prong connector is the grounding
pin. The protective grounding feature is preserved when op erating
the swept signal generator from a two contact outlet by using a
three-prong to a two-prong adapter and connecting the green wire of
the adapter to ground. An adapter is available (for US connectors
only) as part numb er 1251-0048.
Install the instrument so that the detachable p ower cord is readily
identiable and is easily reached by the op erator. The detachable
power cord is the instrument disconnecting device. It disconnects
the mains circuits from the mains supply b efore other parts of the
instrument. The front panel switch is only a standby switch and is
not a LINE switch. Alternately, an externally installed switchor
circuit breaker (which is readily identiable and is easily reached by
the op erator) may be used as a disconnecting device.
