Supplying Operating Power

W￿RNING￿ To avoid equipment failure and potential fire or personal shock hazards, do not exceed the maximum rated operating voltage of 250 V between the voltage-to-ground (earth) and either pole of the power source. The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator operates from a single-phase power source and has a three-wire power cord with a two-pole, three-terminal grounding plug. Also, before making a connection to the power source, be sure the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator has a suitable two-pole, three-terminal grounding -type plug.

To avoid personal shock, do not touch any conductive parts. All accessible conductive parts are directly connected through the grounding conductor of the power cord to the grounded (earth) contact of the power plug. The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator is safety Class 1 equipment (IEC designation).

To prevent electrical shock, remove all power from the instrument, turn the PRINCIPAL POWER SWITCH on the back panel to OFF, and disconnect the power cord from the instrument. Some components in the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator are still connected to line voltage after toggling the instrument to Standby from the front panel ON/STBY button.

Power Cord Information A power cord with the appropriate plug configuration is supplied with each AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator. Table 2±1 provides color-coding identification for the power cord conductors. If you require a power cord other than the one supplied, refer to Table 2±2.
