Bibby Sterilin Stuart SI500, Instructions For Use Manual, Page: 4 / 32

Caution: Fuses are fitted in both live and
neutral lines.
Fuses:
230V - 3.15A anti surge fuse. For all other
voltages always replace with an equivalent fuse
type and rating as those being removed,
alternatively see rating plate for fuse type and
rating.
This unit is supplied with two mains leads fitted
with IEC plugs for connection to the instrument.
One lead has a U.K. 3 pin plug and the other
has a 2-pin “Shuko” plug for connection to the
mains. Choose the lead appropriate for your
electrical installation and discard the other.
Should neither lead be suitable, take the lead
with the U.K. plug and replace the plug with a
suitable alternative. This involves cutting off the
moulded plug, preparing the cable and
connecting to the rewireable plug in accordance
with its instructions.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS OPERATION
SHOULD ONLY BE UNDERTAKEN BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
NOTE: Refer to the equipment’s rating plate to
ensure that the plug and fusing are suitable for
the voltage and wattage stated. The wires in the
mains cable are coloured as follows:
LIVE - BROWN
NEUTRAL - BLUE
EARTH -
GREEN/YELLOW
The appropriate mains lead should be connected
to the instrument BEFORE connection to the
mains supply. Should the mains lead need
replacement a cable of 1mm
2 of harmonised
code H05VV-F connected to an IEC320 plug
should be used. N.B. the U.K. mains lead is
protected by a 10A fuse mounted in the plug
top.
