2-10
VAC. Normally, this is done at the factory and need not
be
changed before operating the instrument. However,
check to be sure that the voltage printed on the back panel of the instrument matches the power-line voltage in
your area. Refer to Chapter
6
Maintenance
if
it is necessary to reconfigure the input voltage range.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock hazard, connect the instrument to properly
earth-grounded, 3-prong receptacles only. Failure to observe this
precaution can result in severe injury or death.
