The cable TV analyzer is equipped with a three-wire power cable, in
accordance with international safety standards. When connected to an
appropriate power line outlet, this cable grounds the instrument cabinet.
WARNING
Failure to ground the cable TV analyzer properly can result in personal
injury. Before turning on the cable TV analyzer, you must connect its
protective earth terminals to the protective- conductor of the main power
cable. Insert the main power cable plug only into a socket outlet that has
a protective earth contact. DO NOT defeat the earth-grounding protection
by using an extension cable, power cable, or autotransformer without a
protective ground conductor.
If you are using an autotransformer, make sure its common terminal is
connected to the protective earth contact of the power source outlet
socket.
