WARNING
W02.02
Lethal voltages are present in the instrument.
Even with the power switch OFF, line power voltages
can still be present within the instrument.
When the instrument is connected to line power,
terminals may be live, and opening covers or removing
parts (except those to which access can be gained by
hand) is likely to expose live parts.
Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged
even if the instrument has been disconnected from all
voltage sources.
Safety Information
Electricity
To ensure satisfactory and safe operation of the instrument, it is
essential that the green/yellow lead of the line power cord is connected
to true electrical earth (ground).
If any part of the instrument is not installed by a Perkin-Elmer service
representative, ensure that the line power plug is wired correctly:
