Connecting to the electricity source
Each system module requires a separate, grounded power source. The ground
connection in all power outlets must be common and physically close to the
system.
To connect to the electricity source:
Recommendation: Use a line conditioner and uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) for optimum, long-term, input voltage stability. For sizing and selection
of the UPS or line conditioner, contact Waters technical support.
1. Connect the female end of the power cord to the receptacle on the rear
panel of each module.
2. Connect the male end of the power cord to a suitable wall outlet.
Alternative: If your system includes the optional FlexCart, connect the
female end of the FlexCart's electrical cables (included in the startup
kit) to the receptacle on the rear panel of each system module. Connect
the hooded, male end of the FlexCart's electrical cables to the power
strips on the back of the cart. Finally, connect each power strip's cable to
a wall outlet operating on its own circuit.

Warning: To avoid electrical shock, do as follows:
• Use only authorized power cords that are shipped with your
instrument or supplied from your local Water’s distributor.
•Power-off and unplug each system module before performing any
maintenance operation on the module.
•Connect each system module to a common ground.
