BEFORE OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT
Mains Supply:
This equipment is designed to operate on 220-240V AC 50Hz only. Do not operate on
DC power supplies or other voltages. Before connecting to the mains, please read the
following instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM
WORDING FOR CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTION BOOKSAND LABELS
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value
of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, anASTAor
BSI approved BS 1362 of the same rating must be used. If the fuse cover is detachable, never
use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the
same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power
points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then use an appropriate safety
approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the mains plugs, this must be carried out by a competent
person, preferably a qualified electrician.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately,
having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code;
Green and Yellow= Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter E or by the EARTH symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW. The
wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire
coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.E
