Refer to Table 1-4 on page 1-5 to verify that you are using the proper power
cord for your location. Connect the power cord from the rear-panel power
connector to the power system.
CAUTION. The instrument is shipped with a power cord appropriate for use with
your power systems (normal 115 V power system or 230 V power system). If the
instrument is to be used with a power system other than what the order specified,
the power cord must be replaced with one appropriate for the power source
used. Refer to Table 1-4 for a listing of available power cords.
After you have verified the environment, AC line, and power cord requirements,
apply power to the instrument by plugging the power cord into the power
connector on the rear panel (see Figure 1-1), and then plugging the power cord
into the local power source.
Power Switches. The MPEG generator uses two power switches: the Principle
Power Switch (located on the rear panel) and the ON/STBY switch (located on
the front panel).
When the Principle Power Switch is in the on position (see Figure 1-1), power is
applied to the power supply standby circuit of the instrument. After the Principle
Power Switch is on, use the front-panel ON/STBY switch (see Figure 1-2) to
apply power to the rest of the instrument.
NOTE. After the instrument is installed, it is recommended that you leave the
Principal Power Switch in the on position and use the ON/STBY switch as the
power switch.
Power On. After you power on the instrument, verify that the fan is operating.
CAUTION. Do not operate the instrument if the cooling fan does not operate
when you turn the instrument on. Serious damage to your instrument can occur
from overheating if the cooling fan is not operating.
NOTE. Allow the instrument to warm up for 20 minutes prior to calibrating the
clock or making precision measurements. The instrument must be completely
warmed up to operate at its optimum precision.
