2.1 Electrical Safety and Preparation for Use
Voltages capable of causing injury or death are present in this instrument. Use extreme
caution whenever the instrument cover is removed.
Line Voltage
This instrument is designed to operate with a 100 to 240 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz power source.
Fuse
A 2.0 Ampere 250 V 5X10 mm slow-blow fuse is used for 100 to 240 VAC operation.
Only replace fuse with the same type and specifications.
AC Power
The instrument has a detachable three wire power cord for connection to a grounded AC
power source. The enclosure of the unit is directly connected to the outlet ground to
protect against electrical shock. Always use an outlet with a protective ground and do not
disable this safety mechanism. Detaching the AC power cord is the only option of
disconnecting the unit from the AC mains supply. Make sure you have access to the rear
panel or provide an external accessible AC disconnect means for the FC-250-10P.
