Alternately, an externally installed switch or circuit breaker (which is readily
identifiable and is easily reached by the operator) may be used as a
disconnecting device.
CAUTION Before switching on this instrument, make sure that the analyzer line voltage
selector switch is set to the voltage of the power supply and the correct fuse is
installed. Assure the supply voltage is in the specified range.
If this product is to be energized via an autotransformer make sure the

common terminal is connected to the neutral (grounded side of the mains
supply).
