Power Cord for the United Kingdom
When using the instrument in the United Kingdom, make sure the power cord meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT:
The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

  • Green/ Yellow: Earth
  • Blue: Neutral
  • Brown: Live (Phase)

As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the cultured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:

  • The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol or coloured Green/Green & Yellow.
  • The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or cultured Blue or Black.
  • The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
  • If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact the supplier. This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable of 0.75mm2 should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the connection method used.
  • Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above standard.
