Verifying and Connecting the Power Cable
The three-wire power cable attached to the E4980A/AL has one wire serving as
a ground. Using this power cable allows the E4980A/AL to be grounded,
thereby protecting you against electrical shock from the power outlet.
Step 1. Confirm that the power cable is not damaged.
Never use a power cable showing any sign of damage. Faulty cables can
cause electric shock.
Step 2. Use the supplied cable to connect the power cable receptacle on the real
panel of the E4980A/AL to a three-wire power outlet with the grounding
prong firmly held in the ground slot.
Use the supplied three-wire power cable with a grounding wire to securely
ground the E4980A/AL.
A 3p-2p conversion adapter is not supplied with the LCR meter. When you
need a 3p-2p conversion adapter, contact your nearest Keysight
Technologies sales and service office listed in the back of this manual.
