240 V ±10 % in the frequency range from 47 to 63 Hz. The maximum power
consumption is 100 VA. For details, refer to Chapter 10, “Specifications.”
Power Cable
In accordance with international safety standards, this instrument is equipped with a
three-wire power cable. When connected to an appropriate ac power outlet, this
cable grounds the instrument frame. The type of power cable shipped with each
instrument depends on the country of destination. Refer to the following table for
the part numbers of the power cables available.
If the plug on the cable does not fit the power outlet, or the cable is to be attached to
a terminal block, cut the cable at the plug end and re-wire it. This work should be
performed by a qualified electrician all local electrical codes being strictly observed.
The color coding used in the cable will depend on the cable supplied. If a new plug
is to be connected, it must meet local safety requirements and include the following
features:
• Adequate load-carrying capacity. (refer to Chapter 10, “Specifications.”)
• Ground connection.
• Cable clamp.
