Device
Power line We recommend the use of a 1.5-kVA power line regulator in areas where the supplied power
regulator fluctuates in excess of ± 10% of the normal voltage. Power fluctuations can adversely affect the
function of the instrument and computer.
Note: A power line regulator monitors the input current and adjusts the power supplied to the
instrument or computer. It does not protect against a power surge or failure.

CAUTION! Do not unpack or plug in any components until the Field Service
Engineers (FSEs) have configured the system for the proper operating voltage.
WARNING! For safety, the power outlet used for powering the instrument
must be accessible at all times. See "Instrument clearances" on page 222 for
information about the space needed between the wall and the instrument. In
case of emergency, you must be able to immediately disconnect the main power
supply to all the equipment. Allow adequate space between the wall and the
equipment so that the power cords can be disconnected in case of emergency.
• Electric receptacle required: 2-prong with ground pin
• Maximum power dissipation: 380 W (approximately, not including computer and
monitor)
• Mains AC line voltage tolerances must be up to ±10 percent of nominal voltage

If the supplied power fluctuates beyond the rated voltage, a power line regulator may be required. High or low
voltages can adversely affect the electronic components of the instrument.
We recommend several protective devices to protect the system in environments with
large voltage and power fluctuations.
