requirements in your area.
“/02" Version product can be powered by 230 V AC only.
“/05" or “/07" Version product can be powered by 240 V AC only.
This is a voltage selector (2-position or 4-position) on the rear panel of the
“/01" Version product,. Be sure to set the voltage selector to the mains
voltage of your area before using the unit.
IMPORTANT:
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To
change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved
type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a plug
without 4 fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be
greater than 5A.
NOTE: The severed piug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock
hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code:
BLUE—” NEUTRAL” (“N")
BROWN—" LIVE“ (“L“)
1, The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter "N” or coloured BLACK.
2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter “L” or coloured RED.
3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is
marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol T or coloured
green or green-and-yellow. -
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped
over the sheath of the lead — not simply over the two wires.
