For your own safety read following instructions carefully before attempting to connect this recorder to the mains.
Mains Supply: 230V ~ 50Hz - AC only
This unit is designed to operate on a 230V~50Hz supply only. Connecting it to other power sources may damage it. Ensure that
the supply corresponds to the information on the rating label at the rear of the recorder.
This component system may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable plug
the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement,
available from the manufacturer, is obtained. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the
colour marking on the base of the plug.
If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a 13A
socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains plug should be connected as shown in the diagram.
The colours of the wires in the mains lead of the unit may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug. Connect them as follows:-
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter 'N' or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter 'L' or coloured red.
There should be no connection to the earth terminal of your plug. If a 13 Amp
(BS 1363) Plug is used, a 3 Amp Fuse must be fitted, or if any other type of Plug is used a 3 Amp or 5 Amp Fuse must be fitted,
either in the Plug or Adaptor, or on the Distribution Board.
This symbol means that this unit is double insulated. An earth connection is not required.
