2. Alarm Ouputs/Digital I/O Connectors. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications.
AC Power Source
The instrument is intended to operate from a ac power source that will not apply more
than 264V ac rms between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and
ground. A protective ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power
cord is required for safe operation.
DC Power Source
