3.2 Mains Lead
For AC mains operation, connect the instrument to the AC supply using the mains lead provided.
Should a power plug be required for a different power outlet socket, a suitably rated and approved
mains lead set should be used which is fitted with the required wall plug and an IEC60320 C13
connector for the instrument end. To determine the minimum current rating of the lead-set for the
intended AC supply, refer to the power rating information on the equipment or in the Specification.
WARNING! THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE EARTHED.
Any interruption of the power earth conductor inside or outside the instrument will make the
instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
3.3 Mounting
This instrument is suitable both for bench use and rack mounting. It is delivered with soft protective
front and rear bezels which have integral moulded feet; this is the most suitable configuration for
bench use.
For rack mounting the protective bezels and handle/stand can be removed such that the instrument
can be fitted beside any other standard 2U half-rack instrument in a 19” rack. A suitable 2U 19”
rack kit is available from the Manufacturers or their overseas agents; full details of how to remove
the handle and bezels are included with the kit.
3.4 Handle/stand
The instrument is fitted with a 4-position handle/stand. Pull out both sides of the handle at the case
pivot points, to free the position locking pegs, and rotate the handle from the stowed position to the
required stand or handle position. Release the sides of the handle to lock it in the new position.
