1.4 Installation
1.4.1 Dimensions
The 1730T LCR Meter unit is supplied in a bench configuration, i.e., in a cabinet with resilient
feet for placement on a table. A bail is provided under the front feet so that the 1730T instrument
can be tilted up for convenient operator viewing.

1.4.2 Instrument Positioning
The 1730T instrument contains one (1) graphic display for direct readout of measured
parameters. The optimum angle for viewing is slightly down and about 10 degrees either side of
center. For bench operation the front flip feet should always be used to angle the instrument up.
In bench or rack mount applications the instrument should be positioned with consideration for
ample air flow around the rear panel fan ventilation hole. An open space of at least 3 inches
(75mm) is recommended behind the rear panel. Testing should be performed on a non-
conductive surface. An ESD mat is not a recommended test platform.
1.4.3 Power Requirements
The 1730T can be operated from a power source of 90 to 125V AC or 190 to 250V AC. Power
connection is via the rear panel through a standard receptacle. Before connecting the 3-wire
power cord between the unit and AC power source, make sure the voltage selection switches on
the rear panel (Figure 1-5) are in accordance with the power source being used. For a 90-125V
source, use a 1A 250V fuse. For a 190-250V source, use a 0.5A 250V fuse. Always use an
outlet that has a properly connected protection ground.
