The power cord supplied is equipped with a grounding connection to ensure grounding
integrity is maintained.
Advice on use of extension leads
Follow this advice when using single or multiple socket extension leads. These are also
called trailing sockets.
l
Ensure the lead is connected to a wall power outlet and not to another extension
lead. The extension lead must be designed for grounding plugs and plugged into
a grounded wall outlet.
l
Ensure that the total ampere rating of the products being plugged into the exten-
sion lead does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension lead.
l
Use caution when plugging a power cord into a multiple socket extension lead.
Some extension leads may allow a plug to be inserted incorrectly.
l
Incorrect insertion of the power plug could result in permanent damage to the
instrument or accessory, as well as risk of electric shock and/or fire. Ensure that the
ground connection (prong/pin) of the power cord plug is inserted into the mating
ground contact of the extension lead
Advice on use of AC adapters
Warning! Do not use adapter plugs that bypass the grounding feature, or
remove the grounding feature from the plug or adapter.
l
Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor.
l
The AC adapter may become hot during normal operation of the instrument or
accessory. Use care when handling the adapter during or immediately after oper-
ation.
l
Use only the Malvern-provided AC adapter approved for use with the instrument
and/or accessory. Use of another AC adapter may cause a fire or explosion.
Advice on use of Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
To help protect the instrument and/or accessory from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS.
