MAINS CONNECTIONS

 

Your ELOP 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 fitted to comply with local requirements. If your unit 

does not have a plug fitted the coloured wires should be connected to the appropriate plug terminals in accordance with 

the following code:

GREEN/YELLOW  

EARTH

BLUE 

  NEUTRAL

BROWN   

 

LIVE

 

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the termi-

nals in your plug proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured 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 coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter 

N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the 

letter L or coloured RED.

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

BEEN MADE.

Note: Units are purpose-built for original destination country’s mains voltage: 100V, 120V, or 220-240VAC 

as indicated on the serial number badge. Power transformer mst be replaced in order to change mains 

operating voltage. 120VAC units may NOT be rewired to put the primaries of the power transformer in 

series for 220-240VAC operation or a large radiated field of hum will develop. If changing locations/voltag-

es, the power transformer must be replaced with the dedicated one for the voltage at which it will operate.

100-120V Operation: Uses a 1A MDL SLO-BLO fuse.

220-240V Operation: Uses a 0.5A MDL SLO-BLO fuse.

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 certificate 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 or LANGEVIN retailer will assist with and advise you of the correct way of disposal in your country.
