MAINS CONNECTIONS

 

Your MicMAID has been factory set to the correct mains voltage for your country. The voltage setting is marked 

on the serial badge, located on the rear panel. Check that this complies with your local supply.

 

Export units for certain markets have a moulded mains plug 

 tted to comply with local requirements. If your unit 

does not have a plug 

 tted the colored wires should be connected to the appropriate plug terminals in accordance with 

the following code:

GREEN/YELLOW   

EARTH

BLUE 

 

 

NEUTRAL

BROWN 

 

 

LIVE

 

As the colors of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the colored marking identifying the termi-

nals in your plug proceed as follows:

The wire which is colored GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked 
by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or colored GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.

The wire which is colored BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter 
N or colored BLACK.

The wire which is colored BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the let-
ter L or colored RED.

DO NOT CONNECT/SWITCH ON THE MAINS SUPPLY UNTIL ALL OTHER CONNECTIONS HAVE 
BEEN MADE.

Note: This unit has been factory wired for your country. If you plan to take the unit to countries with a differ-

ent mains voltage you will need to send the MicMAID to a quali

 ed service technician, or contact the Manley 

Labs Service Center (email: [email protected]) for the correct transformer primaries wiring conver-

sion. Alternatively, you may use outboard AC voltage step-up or step-down transformers as appropriate.

100V & 120V Operation: Uses a 1A SLO-BLO fuse.
220 & 240V Operation: Uses a 0.5A SLO-BLO fuse.

***Fuses for ALL VOLTAGES are 5x20mm GDC packaged fuses.***

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

Information for customers:
The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union have issued the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive. The purpose of the Direc-
tive is the prevention of waste of electrical and electronic equipment, and to promote the reuse and recycling and other forms of recovery of such waste. As such 
the Directive concerns producers, distributors and consumers.

The WEEE directive requires that both manufacturers and end-consumers dispose of electrical and electronic equipment and parts in an environmentally safe man-
ner, and that equipment and waste are reused or recovered for their materials or energy. Electrical and electronic equipment and parts must not be disposed of with 
normal household wastage; all electrical and electronic equipment and parts must be collected and disposed of separately.

Products and equipment which must be collected for reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery are marked with the following pictogram:

Small products may not always be marked with this pictogram in which case this is present in the instructions for use, on the guarantee certi

 cate and printed on 

the packaging.

When disposing of electrical and electronic equipment by use of the collection systems available in your country, you protect the environment, human health and 
contribute to the prudent and rational use of natural resources. Collecting electrical and electronic equipment and waste prevents the potential contamination of 
nature with the hazardous substances which may be present in electrical and electronic products and equipment.

Your MANLEY retailer will assist with and advise you of the correct way of disposal in your country.
