Grounding

Caution A proper earth ground is required for GC operations.
To protect users, the metal instrument panels and cabinet are grounded
through the three-conductor power line cord in accordance with International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) requirements.
The three-conductor power line cord, when plugged into a properly grounded
receptacle, grounds the instrument and minimizes shock hazard. A properly
grounded receptacle is one that is connected to a suitable earth ground.
Proper receptacle grounding should be verified.
Make sure the GC is connected to a dedicated receptacle. Use of a dedicator
receptacle reduces interference.
Caution Any interruption of the grounding conductor or disconnection of the power
cord could cause a shock that could result in personal injury.
Line voltage
The GC operates from one of the
depending on the standard voltage of the country from which it was ordered.
GCs are designed to work with a specific voltage; make sure your GC voltage
option is appropriate for your lab. The voltage requirements for your GC are
printed near the power cord attachment.
