System Operation

Introduction
This chapter describes how to operate the 8000 mainframe. Module specific details
can be found in the module's manual.
2.2
Installation
CAUTION
Although ESD protection is designed into the 8000,
operation in a static-fee work area is recommended.
CAUTION
Do not plug-in or unplug a module with
the AC power on.
2.2.1
AC Power Considerations
The 8000 can be configured to operate at a nominal line voltage of 100, 120, 220, or
240 VAC. Normally, this is done at the factory and need not be changed before
operating the instrument. However, be sure that the voltage setting is correct on the
power input module and correct fuses are installed per section 5.2 before connecting
to an AC source. The 8000 is shipped set for 120 VAC and a caution sticker is placed
on the input power connector.
CAUTION
Do not exceed 250 VAC on the line input.
Do not operate with a line voltage that is not within ±10%
of the line setting. Too low of an input voltage may cause
excessive ripple on the DC supplies. Too high of an input
voltage will cause excessive heating.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock hazard, connect the
instrument to properly earth-grounded, 3-prong
receptacles only. Failure to observe this precaution
can result in severe injury or death.
