Electrical Requirements
CAUTION! IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT THE AVAILABLE ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE SUPPLY IN
YOUR FACILITY, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
The voltage and frequency requirements are specified on the serial tag on the rear of
the unit. Standard variances in frequency (±3Hz) and voltage (-5%, +10%) are
allowed.
Verify that the facilities voltage matches the requirement for the machine,

which is printed on the serial tag on the rear of the machine.
The electric service wiring must be of a large enough wire gauge that the

voltage is maintained to the receptacle even when a full load is applied to the
receptacle. Additionally, the receptacle voltage should be measured while
that receptacle is under load.
Ensure the proper amperage circuit breaker is installed in the line and located

near the equipment.
Plug in the line cord. (Avoid the use of long extension cords, these cause a

significant power drop between the wall receptacle and the machine.)
When the unit is plugged in the amber POWER light on the front panel should

illuminate.
Note: For Lock Out/Tag Out, plug the appropriate device into the line cord.
