For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture 

must be grounded (earthed). The AC supply shall be fitted 

with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault protection.

The RoboScan 812 is delivered without a plug on the power cord. Following the manufac-
turer’s instructions, install an approved 3-prong grounding-type plug that fits your supply.
Connect the wires to the pins as listed below. The table shows some possible pin identifica-
tion schemes; if the pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper
installation, consult a qualified electrician.
