Procedure

Make sure that the spectrometer is
switched off. To do this, check the setting
of the ON/OFF switch

①

Switch position in off-state: O

Connect the power cord

①

to the C5

connector of the external power supply
unit

②

Connect the low-voltage cable

①

to the

low-voltage socket

②

at the microscope

rear side.

Connect the power plug

①

of the power

cord to the mains socket outlet

②

Important note:

Connect the power cord

only to a socket outlet with earthing con-
tact. Make sure that the socket complies
with IEC.
