1.2.4 Reshipment Preparation
If it is necessary to return the instrument to the factory, protect the instrument during reshipment by
using the best packaging materials available. If possible, reuse the original shipping container. If the
original shipping container is not available, use a strong carton (350lbs./ sq.in. bursting strength) or a
wooden box. Wrap the instrument in heavy paper or plastic before placing it into the shipping con-
tainer. Completely fill the areas on all sides of the instrument with packaging material. Take extra pre-
caution to protect the front and rear panels. Seal the package with strong tape or metal bands. Mark
the outside of the package:
If corresponding with the factory of local Giga-tronics sales office regarding reshipment, please pro-
vide the model and serial number. If the instrument is being returned for repair, be sure to enclose all
relevant information regarding the problem that has been found
1.2.5 Power
All 2400 models contain primary and standby power with internal switching. The instrument auto-
matically senses input line voltage in the range of 90 to 253 Vac, 47 to 64 Hz (400 Hz optional). There
are no manual voltage adjustments or selection controls. The 2400 Series has a 3-Wire power cord
with a 3-terminal polarized plug for connection to the power source and safety ground. The power
cord can not exceed 3 meters (9 feet) to meet safety requirements.
The safety ground is connected directly to the chassis. If a 3-to-2 wire adapter is to be used, be sure to
connect the ground lead from the adapter to the earth ground. Failure to do this could cause the
instrument to float above ground, posing a shock hazard.
