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 “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. 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 H05W-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.
