SECTION II
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
The 50/750 is designed for operation as a
tabletop instrument.
CAUTION: The 50/750 is air cooled. Do
not impair the airflow through the vent holes
in the top and bottom covers, or the rear-
panel fan.
AC LINE CORD CONNECTION
1. Insure that the 50/750 POWER switch is
off.
2. Plug the AC line cord into the AC line
cord receptacle on the rear panel.
3. Plug the 50/750 into a 115 V power
source.
WARNING: Make no attempt to bypass
the ground prong in the AC line cord.
Any attempt to negate this safety feature
could result in an electrical shock.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE
HIGH VOLTAGE CONNECTOR
A load is connected to the 50/750 using the
high-voltage plug provided.
CAUTION: Use only high-voltage coaxial
cables and high-voltage connector plugs
(MHV type). Do not use BNC plugs (they
are typically rated to only 500 V). The MHV
connector provided must be used with a
coaxial cable having a voltage rating of at
least 1200 V rms. The MHV connector will
accept a coaxial cable with an outer dia-
meter up to .212 inches or 5.4 mm.
Connect the HV plug to the cable as follows:
1. Cut the cable and square up the end.
Strip the cable jacket back 0.65 in.
2. Slide the connector parts onto the cable
jacket. Slide the nut on first, next the
washer, then the gasket, and finally the
clamp. The clamp’s inner shoulder
should fit squarely against the end of the
cable jacket.
3. With the clamp in place, comb out the
braid and fold the fibers back over the
clamp. Trim the center conductor to
0.15 in. Tin the center conductor.
