Connecting to Line Power
XW Warning
To avoid shock hazard, connect the factory supplied three-
conductor line power cord to a properly grounded power outlet.
Do not use a two-conductor adapter or extension cord, as this
will break the protective ground connection. If a two-conductor
power cord must be used, a protective grounding wire must be
connected between the ground terminal and earth ground
before connecting the power cord or operating the Meter.
1. Verify that the line voltage selector block is set to the correct setting.
2. Verify that the correct fuse for the line voltage is installed.
3. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded three-prong outlet. Refer to Table
2-2 for descriptions of the line-power cords available from Tektronix.
