Getting Started
A proper earth ground is required for GC operations.
To protect users, the metal instrument panels and cabinet are
grounded through the three-conductor power line cord in
accordance with International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) requirements.
The three-conductor power line cord, when plugged into a
properly grounded receptacle, grounds the instrument and
minimizes shock hazard. A properly grounded receptacle is one
that is connected to a suitable earth ground. Proper receptacle
grounding should be verified.
Make sure the GC is connected to a dedicated receptacle. Use of
a dedicator receptacle reduces interference.
Any interruption of the grounding conductor or disconnection of the
power cord could cause a shock that could result in personal injury.
The GC operates from one of the AC voltage supplies listed in
Table 2, depending on the standard voltage of the country from
which it was ordered. GCs are designed to work with a specific
voltage; make sure your GC voltage option is appropriate for
your lab. The voltage requirements for your GC are printed near
the power cord attachment.
