Initial Inspection

When you receive your LDX-3232 instrument, verify that the following items were shipped with the instrument:

•LDX-3232 High Compliance Current Source

•LDX-3232 Series Instruction Manual

•Power Cord

•Shipping Kit

Installing Your LDX-3232 High Compliance Current Source

Grounding Requirements

The LDX-3232 High Compliance Current Source comes with a three conductor AC power cable. The power cable must either be plugged into an approved three- contact electrical outlet or used with a three-contact or two-contact adapter with the grounding wire connected to an electrical ground (safety ground). The LDX-3232's power jack and supplied power cable meet IEC safety standards.

AC Line Power Requirements

You can operate the LDX-3232 instrument from a single phase power source delivering nominal line voltages of 100, 120, 220-240 VAC (all values RMS), at 50/60 Hz. The line power voltage can vary ±10% but cannot exceed 250 VAC. Maximum power consumption is 60 VA (Volt-Amps). The instrument's operational voltage is factory configurable and need not be changed before operating the instrument. However, check to be sure that the voltage printed on the back panel of the instrument matches the power-line voltage in your area.

Before connecting the LDX-3232 High Compliance Current Source to a power source, verify that the AC power source matches the setting of the LDX-3232's voltage printed on the rear panel of the instrument.

To avoid electrical shock hazard, connect the instrument to properly earth-grounded,

3-prong receptacles only. Failure to observe this precaution can result in severe injury or death.
