Turning on the Analyzer for the First Time

Turning on the Analyzer for the First Time

❏Plug in the power cord.

WARNING If this product is to be energized via an external auto transformer for voltage reduction, make sure that its common terminal is connected to a neutral (earthed pole) of the power supply.

CAUTION The analyzer is shipped with a a transportation disk inserted in the disk drive to prevent damage to the disk drive during transportation. This transportation disk, or a blank floppy disk, should be inserted in the disk drive whenever transporting the analyzer.

NOTE

Do not connect anything else to the analyzer yet.

❏Choose a power on preference using the switch on the rear panel (refer to Rear-Panel Features, on page 33, item 14). The PWR ALWAYS ON setting turns the analyzer on whenever external power is applied. This mode is useful if an external power switch is used to control a rack of several instruments. Nevertheless, if you set the analyzer to standby using the front panel Standby key (see Rear-Panel Features, on page 33, item 23) and the external power is removed and restored within 20 seconds, the analyzer will remain in standby.

The PWR NORM setting assigns analyzer on/off control to the front-panel On and Standby keys (see “Front-Panel Connectors and Keys” on page 26, item 23). If the analyzer is on and the external power is removed and restored within 20 seconds, the analyzer will turn on. On the other hand, if the external power is removed and restored after 20 seconds, the analyzer will remain in standby regardless of the front-panel switch settings.

❏Press the (On) key to turn the analyzer on.
