Preparing the Analyzer for Use
| Power Cable and Grounding Requirements |
| On the GPIB connector, pin 12 and pins 18 through 24 are tied to chassis |
| ground and the GPIB cable shield. The instrument frame, chassis, covers, |
| and all exposed metal surfaces including the connectors’ outer shell are |
| connected to chassis ground. However, if channel 2 in the IF section is |
| not installed, the channel 2 BNC connector’s outer shell is not connected |
| to chassis ground. |
| DO NOT interrupt the protective earth ground or ‘’float’’ the analyzer. |
Warning | |
| This action could expose the operator to potentially hazardous |
| voltages. |
| The analyzer is equipped with two |
| |
| ground the analyzer when plugged into appropriate receptacles. The |
| type of power cable plug shipped with each analyzer depends on the |
| country of destination. The following figure shows available power cables |
| and plug configurations. |
