SECTION 2
INSTALLATION
2.1 INITIAL INSPECTION
This instrument was carefully inspected both mechanically and electrically before
shipment. It should be free of mars and scratches and in perfect electrical order upon receipt.
Unpack the instrument and retain the shipping container until the instrument has been
inspected for damage in shipment. If in-shipment damage is observed, notify the carrier and
obtain authorization for repairs before returning the instrument to the factory.
2.2 POWER REQUIREMENTS
The instrument is shipped with a three wire line cord and must be connected to a
grounded 50 to 60 Hz ac power source. Transformer taps are available for operation at the
following line voltages: 100V, 115V-127V, 220V-230V, 240V all
±
10%. Line voltage
selection is accomplished either by changing the line selector on the rear panel or changing
jumpers on the power transformer depending on the scanner model. The jumper connections
are shown on the power supply diagram.
WARNING
: BEFORE SWITCHING ON THIS INSTRUMENT, THE
PROTECTIVE TERMINAL OF THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE CONNECTED TO A
PROTECTIVE EARTH CONTACT. THE POWER LINE CORD SUPPLIED WILL
PROVIDE THE PROTECTIVE GROUNDING WHEN INSERTED INTO A SOCKET
OUTLET PROVIDED WITH AN EARTH CONTACT. THE PROTECTIVE ACTION
MUST NOT BE NEGATED BY THE USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD OR ADAPTOR
WITHOUT A PROTECTIVE GROUNDING CONDUCTOR.
2.3 LOCATION
To insure optimum performance, the scanner should be installed in an area having
reasonably constant temperature, no strong electrostatic or magnetic fields, and a minimum
amount of vibration. The unit should not be located near heating or cooling vents or in direct
sunlight. Such locations can cause sudden temperature changes resulting in generation of
thermal errors in the measurements. A cloth can be placed over the binding posts on the rear
panel (and at the connections to your devices) to shield it from drafts to further reduce thermal
errors.
