21. PREPARATION FOR USE
22. Power Requirements
23. The amplifier operates from 115 or 230 volts
ac line voltage at any line frequency between 48
and 440 Hz. A slide switch on the rear panel is set
to the correct position for the line voltage available.
24. Power Cable
25. To protect operating personnel, the National
Electrical Manufacturer's Association (NEMA) rec¬
ommends that the instrument panel and cabinet be
grounded. All Hewlett-Packard instruments are
equipped with a three-conductor power cable
which, when plugged into the appropriate recep¬
tacle, grounds the instrument. The offset pin on
the power cable's three-prong connector is the
ground wire. The power cord and power input
connector meet the specifications established by
the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC).
26. Mating Connectors
27. Mating connectors used with the amplifier
should be 50-ohm type BNC male. If the amplifier
has the optional Type N connectors, use Type N
male connectors that are compatible with US
MIL-C-39012.
28. Operating Environment
29. The operating range of the amplifier is from
0°C to +5
50
c. The amplifier can be stored in a
temperature range of —40°C to +75°C.
30. Bench Mounting
31. The amplifier is equipped with plastic feet
and tilt stand in place, ready for use as a bench
instrument.
32. Rack Mounting
33. The amplifier may be rack mounted by using
an adapter frame. The adapter frame is a rack
frame that accepts several combinations of sub-
modular units. For additional information, address
inquiries to your nearest Hewlett-Packard sales
and service office.
