GROUNDING
REQUIREMENTS.
2-10. To protect operating personnel, the National Electri-
cal Manufacturer's Association (NEMA) recommends that
the instrument panel and cabinet be grounded. The Model
3580A
is
equipped with a three conductor power cable
which, when plugged into an appropriate receptacle,
grounds the instrument. The offset pin on the power plug
is
the ground connection.

common binding post
of
the INPUT connector (Case
Ground ¢ ) should be connected
to
earth ground or
to
an appropriate system ground.
If
a system ground
is
used,
extra
care
should
be
taken to ensure that
it
is
actually at
ground potential and
is
not
a voltage source.
