4. Preparation for Use
4.1 Electrical Installation
THIS INSTRUMENT MUST
BE EARTHED
Before connection please read and understand
these instructions and ensure that the line supply
corresponds to that shown on the rating plate.
All models are designed for use on 230V 50Hz.
The power consumption of each unit is 1400W.
The instruments are fitted with an IEC socket at
the rear of the instrument for connection of the
mains lead.
Caution: Fuses fitted in both live and neutral
lines.
These units are supplied with two mains leads
fitted with IEC plugs for connection to the
instrument. One lead has a U.K. 3 pin plug and
the other has a 2-pin “Schuko” 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. This involves cutting off the moulded
plug, preparing the cable and connecting to the
rewireable plug in accordance with its instructions.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS OPERATION
SHOULD ONLY BE UNDERTAKEN BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
NOTE: Refer to the equipment’s rating plate to
ensure that the plug and fusing are suitable for
the voltage and wattage stated.
The wires in the mains cable are coloured as
follows:
LIVE - BROWN
NEUTRAL - BLUE
EARTH - GREEN/YELLOW
The appropriate mains lead should be connected
to the instrument BEFORE connection to the
mains supply.
Should the mains lead need replacement a cable
of 1mm
2
of harmonised code H05VV-F connected
to an IEC320 plug should be used.
N.B. The U.K. mains lead is protected by a 10A
fuse mounted in the plug top.
