Before you begin

This product is designed to comply with the legal provisions of EU Directives 2006/95/EC,
2004/108/EC and 2011/65/EU. The standards which have been applied are those which were
in force at the time of the introduction of this product. This product bears the CE mark

This product must be earthed. Please ensure that other equipment connected to it is earthed
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

1.1.

Safety First

1.1.1.

Warnings and cautions

Your PLATO unit operates from a fixed supply voltage which is marked on a label below the
mains inlet on the rear panel. Before connecting the mains lead please check that your mains
supply corresponds to this label as below:

230V Products: Voltage Range 220V-240V AC, 50Hz.

If you move to another area with a different mains voltage please contact your local
distributor to have your product converted.

Use only the mains lead supplied to connect your PLATO to the mains power socket. The
mains lead supplied has a moulded IEC connector which plugs into the IEC power inlet on the
unit’s rear panel. Keep the mains lead away from heat sources. Do not place a heavy object
on the mains lead. Do not modify the mains lead. Do not overload the mains socket. Do not
use a poor fitting mains socket. Do not use a damaged mains lead.

This product must be earthed and must be connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a
protective earthing connection. This product includes a MAINS switch that is located on
the rear of the unit, see the diagram in section 2.2.

Please ensure that other equipment connected to Plato is earthed according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

The PLATO unit incorporates a mains fuse that is located on the rear panel, next to the AC
switch. This must only be replaced by a fuse of the type and rating as described on the
rating label on the rear panel of the unit. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

If the PLATO unit is likely to be unattended for some time, unplug it from the mains supply.

Disconnect the PLATO unit from the mains supply before you connect or disconnect any
equipment from the unit’s rear panel. Make sure all electrical connections are properly
made.
