AC Power Cord
The analyzer is equipped with a three-wire power cord, in accordance with international safety
standards. This cable grounds the analyzer cabinet when connected to an appropriate power line
outlet. The cable appropriate to the original shipping location is included with the analyzer.
Various AC power cables are available that are unique to specific geographic areas. You can order
additional AC power cables for use in different areas. AC Power Cords, on page 12 lists the available
AC power cables, illustrates the plug configurations, and identifies the geographic area in which each
cable is appropriate.
NOTE The front panel switch is a standby switch only; it is not a LINE switch (power
disconnecting device).
WARNING Install the product so that the detachable power cord is readily identifiable
and easily reached by the operator. The detachable power cord is the
instrument disconnecting device. It disconnects the mains circuits from the
mains supply before other parts of the instrument. The front panel switch is
only a standby switch and is not a LINE switch. Alternatively, an externally
installed switch or circuit breaker (which is readily identifiable and is easily
reached by the operator) may be used as a disconnecting device.
CAUTION Always use the three-prong AC power cord supplied with this product. Failure to
ensure adequate earth grounding by not using this cord can cause product damage.
CAUTION This instrument has auto-ranging line voltage input, be sure the supply voltage is
within the specified range and voltage fluctuations do not to exceed 10 percent of
the nominal supply voltage.
