Electrical Requirements

The following section describes the power requirements for all the components that make up the
AAnalyst 200 system.
The AAnalyst 200 spectrometer requires a stable single phase electrical supply of 100–230 VAC
(± 10%), 50 Hz or 60 Hz (± 1%), capable of providing 300VA maximum, that has a correctly
wired protective earthing system (ground connection).
The line power supply should be free of line transients in excess of 50 V peak. If the electrical
supply voltage produces large AC line voltage fluctuations, a qualified electrician should install a
voltage regulator between the electrical outlet and the instrument.
The line power supply point must be within 2 meters of the rear of the spectrometer. We
recommend that you connect the spectrometer, computer, printer, and any accessories to the same
phase of the line power supply and the same protective earth. The line power supply must
conform to local safety regulations and be checked by a qualified electrician before you connect
the instrument to line power.
Installation Category
The AAnalyst 200 is able to withstand transient overvoltage according to Installation Category II
as defined in IEC 1010-1.
Pollution Degree
The AAnalyst 200 will operate safely in environments that contain nonconductive foreign matter
up to Pollution Degree 2 in IEC 1010-1.
Instrument
WARNING
The instrument power cord is to be connected to a circuit with a protective circuit breaker or fuse.

Grounding circuit continuity is vital for safe operation of equipment.
Never operate equipment with grounding conductor disconnected.
