General Safety Considerations
SOFTKEY
WARNING For continued protection against fire hazard replace line fuse only
with same type and rating (3A/250V). The use of other fuses or
material is prohibited.
WARNING This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing
ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only
be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth
contact. Any interruption of the protective conductor, inside or
outside the instrument, is likely to make the instrument dangerous.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
CAUTION Ventilation Requirements: When installing the instrument in a cabinet,
the convection into and out of the instrument must not be restricted. The
ambient temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum
operating temperature of the instrument by 4 °C for every 100 watts
dissipated in the cabinet. If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is
greater than 800 watts, then forced convection must be used.

STEP 3. Meet Electrical and Environmental Requirements
STEP 3. Meet Electrical and Environmental Requirements
1. Set the line-voltage selector to the
position that corresponds to the AC power
source.
3. Ensure the operating environment meets
the following requirements:
2. Ensure the available AC power source
meets the following requirements:
• 90–132 VAC
• 47–66 Hz / 400 Hz (single phase)
OR
• 198–265 VAC
• 47–66 Hz (single phase)
The analyzer power consumption is 350 VA
maximum.
4. Verify that the power cable is not
damaged, and that the power-source outlet
provides a protective earth contact.
• 0 to 55 °C
• < 95% relative humidity at 40 °C
(non-condensing)
• < 15,000 feet (≈ 4,500 meters) altitude
Some analyzer performance parameters are
specified for 25 °C ±5 °C. Refer to the
Reference Guide for information on the
environmental compatibility of warranted
performance.
WARNING: Any interruption of the
protective (grounding) conductor or
disconnection of the protective earth
terminal, can result in personal injury,
or may damage the analyzer.

Installing Your Analyzer
STEP 3. Meet Electrical and Environmental Requirements
5. Ensure there are at least six inches of clearance between the sides and back of either the
stand-alone analyzer or the system cabinet.
CAUTION: The environmental temperature must be 4 °C less than the maximum
operating temperature of the analyzer for every 100 watts dissipated in the cabinet. If the
total power dissipated in the cabinet is >800 watts, then you must provide forced
convection.
6. Set up a static-safe workstation. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy
electronic components.
