Installation
Installing the Agilent B2900
SHOCK HAZARD: The power cord provides the chassis ground through a
third conductor. Be sure to connect to a three-conductor type power outlet with
the correct pin grounded.
NOTE The detachable power cord may be used as an emergency disconnecting device.
Removing the power cord will disconnect AC input power to the instrument.
Connect the power cord to the IEC 320 connector on the rear of the instrument. If
the wrong power cord was shipped with your instrument, contact your nearest
Agilent Sales and Support Office.
The AC input on the back of your instrument is a universal AC input. It accepts
nominal line voltages in the range of 100 to 240 VAC.
Setting the Power Line Frequency
The power line frequency must be set properly for the AC power at your site. Press
the following function keys to set the frequency to 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
• For setting to 50 Hz: More > System > PLC > 50 Hz
• For setting to 60 Hz: More > System > PLC > 60 Hz
Bench Installation
Do not block the air intake at the sides and the exhaust at the rear of the B2900.
Minimum clearances for bench operation are 5 mm along the sides and 100 mm
along the back.
For easier display viewing and measurement terminal access, you can tilt up the
front of the instrument by turning the handle. To adjust the handle, grab the handle
by the sides and pull outward. Then, rotate the handle to the desired position.
