The user must also ensure that the protective ground lead would be the last to break should the
cable be subject to excessive strain.
If the plug is fused, a 3-amp fuse should be fitted.
If the power cable electrical connection to the AC power plug is through screw terminals then,
to ensure reliable connections, any solder tinning of the cable wires must be removed before
fitting the plug.
Before switching on the equipment, ensure that it is set to the voltage of the local AC power
supply.
WARNING!
Any interruption of the protective ground conductor inside or outside the equipment or
disconnection of the protective ground terminal is likely to make the equipment
dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
1.3 Adjustment, Maintenance and Repair
WARNING!
The equipment must be disconnected from all voltage sources before it is opened for any
adjustment, replacement, maintenance, or repair.
When the equipment is connected to the local AC power supply, internal terminals may be live
and the opening of the covers or removal of parts (except those to which access can be gained
by hand) is likely to expose live parts.
Capacitors inside the equipment may still be charged even if the equipment has been
disconnected from all voltage sources.
Any adjustment, maintenance, or repair of the opened equipment under voltage must be carried
out by a skilled person who is aware of the hazards involved.
Service personnel should be trained against unexpected hazards.
Ensure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified type are used for
replacement. The use of makeshift fuses and short-circuiting of fuse holders is prohibited.
1.4 Static Electricity
The unit supplied uses static-sensitive devices. Service personnel should be alerted to
components which require handling precautions to avoid damage by static electrical discharge.
Before handling circuit board assemblies containing these components, personnel should
observe the following precautions:
