When using the GDM-8261 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
coloured 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 coloured 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 0.75mm
2 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.
