Requirements

NOTE: Read the warnings and safety information chapter in this manual before you install
the instrument. It contains important information.

Electrical requirements

The Spectrum Two N power supply adaptor can operate on electricity supplies of 50 or 60 Hz
and in the 100 to 230 V range without any adjustment.
The maximum power consumption of the system is 65 VA (approximately 40 W) when
powering the wireless router. In Power Save mode the mains power consumption is <10 VA
(approximately 6 W) and the DC power consumption is 0.2 W.
The line supply must be within 10% of the nominal voltage.
If possible, do not connect the instrument to circuits that have heavy-duty equipment
connected, such as large motors.
If possible, do not use photocopiers, discharge lamps, radio transmitters, and other
equipment with large or frequent transient loads on the same supply circuit.

Environment

To obtain the best performance from your instrument:
• Place the instrument in an environment that is relatively dry and dust-free.
• Make sure that the bench top is free from vibration or mechanical shocks.
• Do not place the instrument or the PC near to room-heating equipment, such as
central-heating radiators.
Do not position the instrument in direct sunlight as this may cause overheating.
•
Ensure that there is sufficient clearance underneath the instrument to permit an
•
adequate flow of cooling air.
• The area near the PC must be free of strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight, and
heating or cooling units or ducts.
