IMPORTANT NOTICE
THE BCM10 CONSOLE IS NOT SUPPLIED WITH A GENERIC IEC 3-CORE
AC POWER CABLE BUT IS SUPPLIED WITH THE PSU AC MATING
CONNECTOR ONLY. WHEN WIRED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN, THE
EARTH PIN OF THE PSU AC CONNECTOR MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 3-
PIN EARTHED SUPPLY.
IF A REPLACEMENT CABLE IS USED, THEN THE EARTH FROM THE
MAINS SOCKET OR TECHNICAL EARTH TO THE CONSOLE MUST BE
MAINTAINED.
IF ONLY A 2-PIN (NO EARTH) SUPPLY IS AVAILABLE, THEN THE BCM10 CONSOLE
MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO ENSURE THAT THE CONSOLE
METALWORK IS PERMANENTLY EARTHED.
THE CONSOLE SHOULD ONLY BE POWERED FROM A SINGLE-PHASE SUPPLY WITH
THE NEUTRAL CONDUCTOR AT EARTH POTENTIAL.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PROCEDURES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
COULD INVALIDATE THE MANUFACTURER S WARRANTY
NB.
THE CONSOLE +5V PSU SHOULD BE SET TO THE REQUIRED LOCAL AC VOLTAGE.
HOWEVER, IF THE CONSOLE IS MOVED TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION AND THE AC
OPERATING VOLTAGE APPLIED TO THE PSU HAS CHANGED THEN REFER TO THE
REAR OF THE PSU FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CHANGE THE WORKING I/P
VOLTAGE FOR THE +5V PSU.
NB.
ONLY THE +5V PSU NEEDS TO HAVE IT S I/P CHANGED TO ACCOMMODATE
DIFFERENT AC VOLTAGES.
THE CHANGE IS ONLY TO BE MADE WITH THIS UNIT UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS
SOURCE, BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
