Getting Started

Installing the 250V Power Supply
1. Check the label located near the AC inlet to ensure that the unit is compatible with locally
provided voltage.
2. Place the 250V Power Supply on a level laboratory bench. Keep the area around the power
supply clear to ensure proper ventilation of the unit.
3. For your safety: Position the unit properly such that the On-Off switch and the AC inlet
located on the rear of the unit are easily accessible.
4. Ensure the AC power switch is in the Off position.
5. Attach the power cord to the AC inlet. Use only properly grounded AC outlets and power
