Initial Inspection
When you receive your LDX-3232 instrument, verify that the following items were
shipped with the instrument:
• LDX-3232 High Compliance Current Source
• LDX-3232 Series Instruction Manual
• Power Cord
• Shipping Kit
Installing Your LDX-3232 High Compliance Current Source
Grounding Requirements
The LDX-3232 High Compliance Current Source comes with a three conductor
AC power cable. The power cable must either be plugged into an approved three-
contact electrical outlet or used with a three-contact or two-contact adapter with
the grounding wire connected to an electrical ground (safety ground). The
LDX-3232's power jack and supplied power cable meet IEC safety standards.
AC Line Power Requirements
You can operate the LDX-3232 instrument from a single phase power source
delivering nominal line voltages of 100, 120, 220-240 VAC (all values RMS), at
50/60 Hz. The line power voltage can vary ±10% but cannot exceed 250 VAC.
Maximum power consumption is 60 VA (Volt-Amps). The instrument's operational
voltage is factory configurable and need not be changed before operating the
instrument. However, check to be sure that the voltage printed on the back panel
of the instrument matches the power-line voltage in your area.
Before connecting the LDX-3232 High Compliance Current Source to a power source,
verify that the AC power source matches the setting of the LDX-3232's voltage printed on
the rear panel of the instrument.
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.
