5.5 Electricity source
Most modules require a separate, grounded, power source. The ground connection in the power
outlet must be common and physically close to the module.
Warning: To avoid electric shock, do not remove protective panels from system
modules. The components within are not user-serviceable.
Notice: To avoid damaging the electronic components of the sample manager and the
column heater or column heater/cooler, always power-off the sample manager and
column heater/cooler before connecting or disconnecting the interconnect cable.
5.5.1 Connecting to a wall electricity source
Warning: To avoid electrical shock, observe these precautions:
• Use SVT-type power cord in the United States and HAR-type power cord, or better,
in Europe. For requirements elsewhere, contact your local Waters distributor.
• Inspect the power cord for damage, and replace it, if necessary.
• Power-off and unplug each module before performing any maintenance operation
on it.
• Connect each module to a common ground.
Recommendation: Use a line conditioner and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for
optimum, long-term, input-voltage stability.
To connect to a wall electricity source:
1. Connect the female end of the power cord to the receptacle on the rear panel of the
module.
2. Connect the male end of the power cord to a suitable wall outlet.
