at 50/60 Hz (+/-5%), or single-phase 100 - 120 Vrms (+/-10%) AC power at 400Hz
(+/-5%).
No manual voltage selection is required because the instrument automatically
adapts to line voltage.
Depending on the type and number of options and accessories (probes, PC port
plug-in, etc.), the instrument can consume up to 100 W of power.

Scientific
SMO5000X User Manual 14/205
Note: The instrument automatically adapts to the AC line input within the
following ranges:
Voltage Range: 90 - 264 Vrms 90 - 132 Vrms
Frequency Range: 47 - 63 Hz 380 - 420 Hz
2.5 Power and ground connections
The instrument includes a grounded cord set containing a molded three terminal
polarized plug and a standard IEC320 (Type C13) connector for making line
voltage and safety ground connection. The AC inlet ground terminal is connected
directly to the frame of the instrument. For adequate protection against electrical
shock hazard, the power cord plug must be inserted into a mating AC outlet
containing a safety ground contact. Use only the power cord specified for this
instrument and certified for the country of use.
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard!
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside of the
scope, or disconnection of the safety ground terminal creates a
hazardous situation.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
The position of the oscilloscope should allow easy access to the socket. To make
the oscilloscope completely power off, unplug the instrument power cord from AC
socket.
The power cord should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the scope is not to
be used for an extended period of time.
CAUTION: The outer shells of the front panel terminals (CH1, CH2,
CH3, CH4, EXT) are connected to the instrument’s chassis and
therefore to the safety ground.
2.6 Calibration
The recommended calibration interval is one year. Calibration should be only
performed by qualified personnel.
