Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT
A mains cable is supplied with an IEC moulded socket at one end and a moulded mains plug at the
other end. Where the moulded plug is fitted with a mains fuse, always replace with the same 5A
rated fuse.
If the fitted plug is unsuitable for your type of outlet sockets, it should be cut off and disposed of safely,
in case it is inserted into a live socket elsewhere. The wires in the mains cable are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW
EARTH
BLUE
NEUTRAL
BROWN
LIVE
AS THE COLOURS OF THE WIRES IN THE MAINS CABLE MAY NOT CORRESPOND
WITH THE COLOURED MARKINGS IDENTIFYING THE TERMINALS IN YOUR PLUG, PROCEED
AS FOLLOWS:
}
The wire which is coloured GREEN AND YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked either by the letter E, the earth safety 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.
}
Ensure that the terminals are tightened securely, and no loose strands of wire are present.
Ensure cord grip is clamped over outer sheath of cable, rather than over the wires.
