Available Outlets
For systems installed where there is 110 and 230 V:
• Nominal voltage of 120 V ac, +6 to –10%, and 230 V ac, ±10% and free
from voltage variations above or below this operating range. For systems
installed in areas with 208 V, you must protect your instrument by using a
buck/boost transformer to ensure that power is within the specified
parameters at all times.
• Frequency of 50/60 Hz.
• One fourplex outlet (single-phase power, NEMA 20-5 receptacles) with a
minimum power rating of 20 A (120 V ac).
• One single outlet (single-phase power) with a minimum power rating of
30 A (230 V ac).
• Earth ground hardwired to the main panel.
For systems with only 230 V line power:
• Nominal voltage of 230 V ac, ±10%. For systems installed in areas with
208 V, you must protect your instrument by using a buck/boost
transformer to ensure that power is within the specified parameters at all
times.
• Frequency of 50/60 Hz.
• One fourplex outlet (NEMA 20-5 receptacles), with a minimum power
rating of 20 A. (In the U.S., with only 15 and 20 A power rating options
available, you must choose the 20 A option.)
• One single outlet (single-phase power) with a minimum power rating of
30 A (230 V ac).
• Earth ground hardwired to the main panel.
