Power connection
The TG8000 oper
ates from a single-phase power source with the neutral
conductor at or near earth ground. The line conductor is fused for over-current
protection. A protective ground connection through the grounding conductor in
the locking power cord is essential for safe operation.
CAUTION. The instrument does not have a power switch. When you connect the
power cable to the AC line connector, the instrument powers on.
AC power requirements. Check that your location provides the proper electrical
power requirements as listed in the following table. (See Table 1-4.)
