Model 4200-SCS User’s Manual Section 1: Getting Started
CAUTION A large system (for example, multiple SMUs, multiple pulse generators,
and a scope) draws more power than a small system, causing the internal
power supply to generate more heat. Because of this, it is imperative that
systems of any size have proper ventilation. Even a small system with
inadequate ventilation can be damaged by excess heat.
Cleanliness
To avoid internal dirt buildup that could degrade performance and affect longevity, the
4200-SCS should be operated in a clean, dust-free environment.
Powering up the 4200-SCS
The following information covers power requirements for the 4200-SCS power connections,
power-up characteristics, and warm-up requirements.
Line power
The 4200-SCS operates from a line voltage in the range of 100 V to 240 V at a frequency of 50 Hz
or 60 Hz. Line voltage is automatically sensed, but line frequency is not (For more information see
the Reference Manual, Line frequency setting, page 2-16. Check to ensure the operating voltage
in your area is compatible.
CAUTION Operating the instrument on an incorrect line voltage may cause damage,
possibly voiding the warranty.
NOTE To avoid possible problems caused by electrical transients or line voltage
fluctuations, the 4200-SCS should be operated from a dedicated power source.
Line power connection
To connect the unit to line power and turn it on:
1. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure the front panel power switch is in the off
position.
2. Connect the female end of the supplied power cord to the AC receptacle on the rear panel
(see Figure 1-1).
WARNING The large diameter line cord (supplied) must be used to power the 4200-SCS.
Do not use a different line cord. Using a different line cord may result in
personal injury or death due to electric shock.
3. Connect the other end of the supplied line cord to a grounded AC line power receptacle.
