2.1.2 To connect the power

Check the power-line voltage on the rear panel to see if voltage setting is

correct for your area. Change the setting if it is not correct or the fuse is

broken. Please follow the steps below.

2.1.2.1 To convert the voltage

Warning! In some areas, the power supplied voltage is 240V or

120V; in others, the power supplied voltage is 220 V or 100 V. Please

refer to your local power supplied voltage to see if you have the right

setting.

Warning! Before changing the setting, make sure the multimeter is

disconnected from the AC power. An incorrect voltage setting may cause

severe damage to your instrument.

Warning! The power cord supplied with 1201 contains a separate

ground wire for use with grounded outlets. When proper connections are

made, instrument chassis is connected to power line ground through the

ground wire in the power cord. Failure to use a grounded outlet may

result in personal injury or death due to electric shock.

Suppose your condition is in AC 100V and you want to convert the

voltage to the 220V. Follow these steps to change the voltage setting.

【Step 1】

Verify that the meter is disconnected as shown in Figure 2-1.
