Setting up the Analyzer
For optimum performance from your MA-1040 analyzer, keep the following in mind when selecting a
location for its placement:
• Avoid locations near strong magnetic fields, such as transformers or power lines carrying high
currents.
• Avoid placing the analyzer on a steel table. If unavoidable, place a 3/4-in. thick piece of
plywood underneath the instrument.
• Ensure a constant room temperature; fluctuations may result in inaccurate readings.
1. Place the analyzer (display side up) on a workbench or table.
2. Insert the 8-pin connector end of the power cord into the power connector on the side of the
analyzer and the other end into an appropriate power source.
3. Turn on the analyzer; allow 30 minutes for warm-up.
Remember to place a 3/4-in. piece of plywood under the analyzer if a steel
table is used.
