There is an IEC socket at the rear of the instrument for connection to the mains supply, (see figure 2).
The unit is supplied with two mains leads fitted with IEC plugs for connection to the instrument.
One has a U.K. 3 pin plug and the other has a 2 pin “Shuko” plug for connection to the mains.
Choose the lead appropriate for your electrical installation and discard the other.
Should neither lead be suitable, take the lead with the U.K. plug and replace the plug with a suitable
alternative. See the enclosed instruction sheet for advice on how to carry out this procedure.
Should the mains lead require replacement a cable of 1mm

IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
The mains lead should be connected to the instrument BEFORE connection to the mains supply.
NOTE that when connected to the mains supply a green neon light on the front of the unit
illuminates, (see figure 1).
