Installation

Connection to the mains

Your new monitor is designed to operate from an ac mains supply of 
220-240V at 50Hz. Stabilising circuits ensure satisfactory performance 
within normal supply variations. If the mains voltage in your location is 
different from this, please consult your dealer.

Warning: This apparatus must be earthed.
A suitable mains lead is supplied with the monitor. The female side of the 
IEC320 connector plugs into the rear of the monitor, while the male side 
must be connected to the mains outlet of your Acorn computer.

Some computers may not be equipped with a mains outlet, in which case 
the mains lead for the monitor must be connected to a standard mains 
supply outlet. An appropriate cable can be purchased separately, or the 
lead supplied with the monitor can be altered.

Important: The wires in the mains lead for the apparatus are 

coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and yellow :

Earth

Blue

:

Neutral

Brown

:

Live

An appropriate and approved plug for your supply must be connected 
to the mains lead. For UK operations the mains plug must be fitted 
with a 3 amp fuse, ASTA approved to BS1362.
As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the coloured 
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to 

the terminal in the plug which is marked by one of the following:

the letter E

the safety earth symbol

the colour green

the colours green and yellow

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the 

terminal which is marked with the letter N, or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the 

terminal which is marked with the letter L, or coloured red.
