GAC® 2100  Grain Analysis Computer (Blue, Gray, Agri Models)

11001-1688-201609

INSTALLATION 11

INSTALLATION

Before shipping, the GAC 2100 is inspected and tested for mechanical and 
electrical defects. After unpacking, visually inspect for possible damage that 
may have occurred during transit. Save all packing materials until the 
inspection is complete. If damage is found, immediately file a claim with the 
carrier and notify your DICKEY-john representative.

CONNECTING AC POWER

1. Verify that the ON/OFF (I/O) switch is in the OFF (O) position and that 

the shipping brace is in the OPERATE position. 

2. Plug the line cord into the connector on the rear panel next to the ON/

OFF switch. 

3. Plug the male end into an appropriate 3-wire (grounded) outlet.

The grounding pin on the line cord connects directly to the 
GAC 2100 frame. When using an adapter with a grounding wire 
ensure the grounding wire is connected properly to a good earth 
ground to prevent a shock hazard.
