Page 57: Operating Environment
Preparation for Use Operating Voltage The AWG615 Arbitrary Waveform Generator operates with any line voltage from 90 to 250 VAC with any line frequency from 48 to 63 Hz. There are two fuses, either of which may be used throughout the line voltage and frequency ranges. The two fuses are not interchangeable as each requires a different fuse cap.
Page 58: Installation
Damage to the instrument can occur if it is powered on at temperatures outside the specified temperature range. The AWG615 Arbitrary Waveform Generator operates correctly in ambient temperatures from +10° C to +40° C (50° F to +104° F) and relative humidity from 20% to 80% with no condensation.
Page 59: Check Fuse
Preparation for Use NOTE. If the air flow is restricted and the internal temperature of the AWG615 Arbitrary Waveform Generator exceeds the proper operating temperature range, the instrument temporarily shuts down to protect the internal modules from overheating. To prevent temporary shutdown of the AWG615 Arbitrary Waveform Generator do not restrict air flow through the chassis.
Page 60: Figure 2-1: Rear Panel Power Switch, Fuse Holder, And Power Connector
NOTE. The AWG615 Arbitrary Waveform Generator is shipped with a 115 V power cord. If the AWG615 Arbitrary Waveform Generator is to be used with 230 V power, the power cord must be replaced with one appropriate for the power source used.
