11. Connection of the Electricity Supply
Once the machine has been correctly assembled and set up the electricity
supply can be connected.
The machine can only be connected to a single phase supply. Before connecting
the electrical supply ensure that it is the correct voltage, phase and frequency,
and that it has sufficient capacity for the machine. The relevant information can
be found on the rating plate located on the rear of the machine.
Machines supplied for use in the UK are fitted with a BS1363 plug fitted with
a 13 amp fuse. Ensure that you use the appropriate plug for use in other
countries. If the plug fitted to the machine is changed for any reason, the wires
in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals on your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked
‘E’ or by the earth symbol ~ or coloured green; or green and yellow.
The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked ‘N’
coloured black.
The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked ‘L’ or
coloured red.
If in doubt about the connection of the electrical supply consult a qualified
electrician.
RCD (Residual Current Device)
For your additional safety we always recommend the use of an RCD (sometimes
called Residual Current Circuit Breaker or Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker).
The machine must not be connected to a TN-S power supply system. A circuit
breaker (13A) with RCD module (30A) must be installed for supplying electric
power to this machine, in order to protect the user against electrical shock due
to indirect shock.
Connect the main leads to a standard 230V±10% (50Hz+1%Hz) electrical
supply which has devices for protection against under-voltage, over-voltage,
over-current as well as a residual current device (RCD) with maximum residual
current rated at 0.03A, the main connection must have maximum 13A
time-lag fuse.
Note:
It is important that the machine is effectively earthed.
