with all applicable local requirement (A grounded,
3 pin power plug only should be used).

Plug Points : 1 No. of 15/5 amps outlet and 2 No. of 5 Amp

sockets should be available near the mounting desks.
(Normally only one socket is required per analyzer and 2
extra sockets are recommended for using any measuring
equipment and engineering tool if required while
servicing). Failure to properly ground the analyzer
bypasses important safety features and may result in an
electrical hazard Heavy duty electrical devices like Air
conditioners, refrigerators, oven’s etc., should not be
operated on the same electrical lines as the analyzer.

Please ensure while taking any electrical measurement the multimeter used must have valid
calibration identification. The AC power adapter supplied with the analyser can be used
between 90 – 260 V AC, 50/60 Hz, supply which makes the power supply suitable for use,
universally.

Also ensure that the power supply should be placed at a distance easily accessible to the
user. This will help the user to switch OFF the instrument immediately during any
emergency.
