Connecting the spectrometer to the electrical supply
The power cable for the electrical supply plugs into the rear of the instrument. It has a
molded socket at one end. If it is necessary to fit a plug on the power cable, use the wire
color code below:
Plug Pin Wire Color (100–120 V) Wire Color (220–240 V)
Ground (Earth) Green or Green/Yellow Green/Yellow
Live Black Brown
Neutral White Blue
WARNING
To ensure safe and satisfactory operation of the instrument, it is
essential that the green or green/yellow ground (earth) wire of the
power cord is connected to a ground that complies with the regulations
of the local electricity supply authority (or equivalent body); ground
circuit continuity is essential for safe operation of the equipment.
