• Use a strong double-wall container that is made for shipping instrumentation. 350-lb. test
material is adequate.
• Use a layer of shock-absorbing material 70 to 100 mm (3 to 4 inch) thick around all sides
of the instrument. Protect the control panel with cardboard.
• Seal the container securely.
• Mark the container “FRAGILE” to insure proper handling.
• Please refer in all correspondence to your AR service number.
2.2. Installation
2.2.1. Work Area
Locate a suitable testing area and be sure you have read all safety instructions
for the operation of the instrument and suggestions on the test area set-up in
the Safety section. Make sure the work area you choose has a three-prong
grounded outlet. Be sure the outlet has been tested for proper wiring before connecting the
instrument to it.
2.2.2. Power Requirements
This instrument requires a power source of either 115 volts AC ± 10%, 50/60 Hz single phase
or 230 volts AC ±10%, 50/60 Hz single phase. Please check the rear panel to be sure the
proper switch setting is selected for your line voltage requirements before turning your
instrument on. For operation at 115 and 230 Volts AC use a 3.15 Amp, fast acting 250VAC.
Do not switch the line voltage selector switch located on the rear panel while
the instrument is on or operating. This may cause internal damage and
represents a safety risk to the operator.
2.2.3. Basic Connections
Power Cable
Before connecting power to this instrument, the protective ground (Earth)
terminals of this instrument must be connected to the protective conductor of
the line (mains) power cord. The main plug shall only be inserted in a socket
outlet (receptacle) provided with a protective ground (earth) contact. This protective ground
(earth) must not be defeated by the use of an extension cord without a protective conductor
(grounding).
The instrument is shipped with a three-wire power cable. When the cable is connected to an
appropriate AC power source, the cable will connect the chassis to earth ground. The type of
power cable shipped with each instrument depends on the country of destination.
