evident, notify the carrier.
DO NOT
return an instrument to the factory without prior approval.
Do not destroy the packing container until the unit has been inspected for damage in
shipment.
3.2 Power Requirements
The AC Power System has been designed to operate from a single phase AC line voltage.
The nominal operating voltage is from 100V to 240V line input.
Figure 3-1: The 801P/1001P/1251P AC Power Source
WARNING: Do not connect the unit to a 400-480 service as the result will be a
severely damaged unit.
3.3 Mechanical Installation
The AC Source is a completely self contained power unit. It can be used free standing on a
bench. The unit is fan cooled, drawing air in from the rear and exhausting at the sides. The
sides of the unit must be kept clear of obstruction and a 6 inch clearance must be maintained
to the rear.
3.4 Input Wiring
The AC Source is designed to work from a single utility supply. The IEC 320 input connector
will accept a standard IEC line cord with the appropriate mating connector for the utility outlet.
The utility outlet must be properly grounded and be capable of supplying 1725 VA at nominal
voltage for the 1251P and 1425 VA for the 1001P and 1140 VA for the 801P.
