The area of the wire must be a minimum of 0.75mm
2
or 18AWG, and the
length of the cord must be less than 3m.
The power cord must be routed so it will not be walked on, pinched by items
placed on or against it, or become wet. Pay particular attention to the plug, the
electrical outlet, and the point where the cord exits the product.
Power safety information
The following notes are guidelines for connecting the Malvern Instruments power
supply using single and multiple extension leads, connection via AC Adapters and
use of Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS).
Warning!
To prevent electric shock, plug the instrument or accessory into correctly
earthed electrical outlets.
The power cord supplied is equipped with a grounding connection to
ensure grounding integrity is maintained.
Advice on use of Extension leads
Follow this advice when using
single or multiple socket extension leads
. These
are also called ‘trailing sockets’.
Ensure the lead is connected to a wall power outlet and
not
to
another
extension lead. The extension lead
must
be designed for grounding plugs and
plugged into a grounded wall outlet.
Ensure that the total ampere rating of the products being plugged into the
extension lead
does not exceed
the ampere rating of the extension lead.
Use
caution
when plugging a power cord into a multiple socket extension
lead. Some extension leads may allow a plug to be inserted incorrectly.
Incorrect insertion of the power plug could result in permanent damage to the
instrument or accessory, as well as risk of electric shock and/or fire. Ensure that
the ground connection (prong/pin) of the power cord plug is inserted into the
mating ground contact of the extension lead
Advice on use of AC adapters (when used)
Warning!
Do not use adapter plugs that bypass the grounding feature, or remove the
grounding feature from the plug or adapter.
