CHAPTER 3: Installation
3.4 Connecting to AC Power
AC power is supplied to the A/S2W SHM through an included or alternate 1.5-m
(5 ft) cord terminated with a grounded plug. Make sure that, before you plug the
cord into the unit and an outlet, that proper grounding rules are observed:
• If you are using an alternate cord, it must have a ground wire that runs from
the unit’s ground (earth) terminal (the topmost of the three prongs on the
unit’s IEC 320 male power inlet) to the ground terminal on the outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord with the unit unless it also has a ground wire
that runs between ground terminals at either end.
Once you are sure of proper grounding, run the power cord from the A/S2W
SHM’s IEC320 male power inlet to a working outlet. As soon as the cord is plugged
in at both ends, the unit will begin operating, because it has no power switch. (To
turn the unit on and off, you must plug it in and unplug it.) The PWR LED should
light; see
Section 4.2 .
