To meet electrical and environmental requirements
1. Ensure the available AC power source meets the following requirements:
90 - 132 VAC
50 - 60 Hz / 400 Hz (single phase)
OR
198 - 264 VAC
50 - 60 Hz (single phase)
OR
90 - 132 VAC (47 - 66 Hz)
103.5 - 126.5 VAC (380 - 420 Hz)
WARNING
198 - 250 VAC (47 - 66 Hz)
The instrument automatically switches between 110 and 220 volt ranges to
match the available power source.
NOTE
The sweeper power consumption is 400 VA max or 100 VA standby.
2. Verify that the power cable is not damaged, and that the power-source
socket outlet provides a protective earth contact.
Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor or disconnection
of the protective earth terminal, can result in personal injury.

Installing Your Sweeper
To meet electrical and environmental requirements
3. Ensure the operating environment meets the following requirements:
0to50C
<90% relative humidity
<15000 feet (4600 meters) altitude
Refer to the \User's Guide" for information on the environmental
compatibility of warranted performance.

To select the sweeper GPIB address and language
mode
The rear panel switch allows you to select the following sweeper defaults:
GPIB address
language mode
storage register mode
You can position the rear panel switch so the sweeper defaults to a selected
language mode and GPIB address when you apply AC power. The switch also
allows you to select whether or not the sweeper clears the storage registers at
power up.
