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 setup in section 1.4. Safety. Make sure the work area
you choose has a three-prong grounded outlet capable of supplying the necessary
input current to the power source. Be sure the outlet has been tested for proper wiring
before connecting the instrument to it.
The mains plug is used as the disconnecting device and shall
remain readily operable. The socket-outlet shall be installed.
Near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
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. This instrument auto-
ranges for 115 / 230V, 15 variation. See section 3.2.2. Rear Panel Controls for
an image of the rear panel. OMNIA II maximum rated power is 750VA.
Do not replace the power supply cord with an improperly rated
cord. For North American: A UL listed and CSA labeled power
cord must be used with the instrument in the United States and
Canada. The power cord must include a NEMA5-15 style male plug, SVT or SJT cord
sets, and be rated for at least 125VAC, 10A, number 16 gauge (or 125VAC, 15A,
number 14 gauge) wire or larger, and the length of the cord does not exceed 2 m must
be used. For European: A certified power supply cord not lighter than light PVC
sheathed flexible cord according to IEC 60227, designation H03 VV-F or
H03 VVH2-F (for equipment mass not exceeding 3 kg), or H05 VV-F or H05 VVH2-F2
(for equipment mass exceeding 3 kg), and be rated for at least 3G 0.75 mm² (for rated
current up to 10 A) or 3G 1.0mm² (for rated current over 10 A up to 16 A) wire or
larger, and the length of the cord does not exceed 2 m must be used.
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.
The OMNIA II must be connected to a good ground. Be certain
that the power wiring is properly polarized and that the proper
low resistance bonding to ground is in place.
