These units are 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 “Schuko” 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 H05W-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.
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN

The unit should be carried using both hands.
Never move or carry the unit when in use or
connected to the mains electricity supply.
The instrument should not be switched on and
allowed to heat unless the appropriate number of
aluminium blocks are fitted into the recess in the top.
The aluminium blocks may be HOT. Never move or
carry the unit until it has been disconnected from
the electricity supply and allowed to cool
Blocks should NEVER be removed from the
instrument until it has been disconnected from the
electricity supply and allowed to cool.
Blocks should only be removed using the specially
designed tool supplied with the instrument - see
figure 1.
If liquid is spilled on the blocks the instrument
should be switched off immediately and allowed to
cool. The blocks and the recess in the top of the
instrument should be carefully cleaned and dried
before further use. Ensure adequate safety
precautions are observed depending on the nature
of the spilled liquid.
If there has been heavy drenching of the blocks or
spillage into the instrument it should be checked
by a qualified electrician before further use.
In the case of mains interruption, a fault or electrical
failure, the unit will continue to operate on restoration
of the electricity supply or removal of the fault.
