Power Cords
The Odyssey
®
Fc Imager is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type
outlet. This is a necessary safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, you will need to replace the
outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Do not locate the Odyssey Fc Imager where the power cord will be walked on or exposed to water or chemical spills.
The Odyssey Fc Imager draws a maximum of 2 amperes at 120V (see Chapter 4 for complete specifications). If an
extension cord is used, make sure the total of the ampere ratings on the instruments plugged into the extension cord does
not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also make sure the total amperage of instruments plugged into the wall
outlet does not exceed the amperage capacity for the outlet (usually 15 or 20 amperes in the United States).
Disconnect power before servicing.
Fuse Replacement
There are no user replaceable fuses in this instrument.
Chassis Ground Access Hole
To eliminate the potential for ESD damage during service, a hole on the side of the control module provides a chassis
ground (Figure 1-2).
