3.4 Connecting the AC Adapter
42
This section describes connecting the 9418-15 AC Adapter to the instrument in
order to supply power.
1. Make sure the instrument is OFF.
2. Connect the connector of the AC adapter to the connector of the instru-
ment, and insert the plug into a power outlet with a ground.
3.4 Connecting the AC Adapter
• Turn the instrument off before connecting the AC adapter to the instrument and
to AC power.
• Use only the supplied Model 9418-15 AC Adapter. AC adapter input voltage
range is 100 to 240 VAC (with
±10% stability) at 50/60 Hz. To avoid electrical
hazards and damage to the instrument, do not apply voltage outside of this
range.
• To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifications of this
instrument, connect the power cord provided only to a 3-contact (two-conduc-
tor + ground) outlet.
To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplug-
ging it from the power outlet.
• Make sure the power is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the AC
adapter.
• The instrument will run erratically under a momentary power outage lasting
less than 40 ms. However, if a momentary power outage lasting 40 ms or more
occurs, the instrument may turn off temporarily, so the state of the power sup-
ply at the installation location should be considered beforehand.
• If a power outage occurs, the measurement data is lost.
• If the instrument is run on a 12 V battery without using the AC adapter and is
connected to the battery with a cable of 3 m or longer, measurement may be
affected by external noise and other electromagnetic interference.
