Installation and Power On

Connecting Power

The waveform monitor operates from a single-phase power source with the neutral conductor at or near earth ground. The line conductor is fused for over-current protection. A protective ground connection through the grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.

WARNING. To avoid serious personal injury from electric shock, do not operate the instrument with the cover removed. When power is supplied via the power cord, line voltage will be present inside the waveform monitor, even if the unit is in standby mode.

AC Power Requirements The waveform monitor operates from an AC line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz, over the range of 100-240 Volts, without the need for configuration, except the power cord. Refer to page 1-2 for the power cord options.

The typical power consumption is 100 W with one video module installed and 125 W with two video modules installed. Power consumption increases by a negligible amount when there is an Option DG audio module installed. Refer to the product specification tables in the WFM700 Series Technical Reference document on the CD-ROM for additional information on power and environmental requirements.

CAUTION. Use only power cords that are approved for the country of use. Using non-approved power cords could result in fire or shock hazard.

Powering On the Follow these steps to power on the waveform monitor:

Instrument

1.Plug the supplied power cord (IEC 320) into the back of the instrument. Refer to page 1-2 for a list of power cord options.

2.Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard wall outlet.

3.Press the ON/STBY button to bring the waveform monitor out of standby mode.
