Mains connections – Manley ENHANCED PULTEC EQP1-A EQUALIZER User Manual

Your Pultec has been factory set to the correct mains voltage for your country. The
voltage setting is marked on the serial badge, located on the rear panel. Check that this
complies with your local supply.

Export units for certain markets have a moulded mains plug fitted to comply with local
requirements. If your unit does not have a plug fitted the coloured wires should be
connected to the appropriate plug terminals in accordance with the following code.

GREEN/YELLOW

EARTH

terminal

BLUE

NEUTRAL

terminal

BROWN

LIVE

terminal

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured
marking identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows;

The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the
plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured GREEN
or GREEN and YELLOW.

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked by the letter N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked by the letter L or coloured RED.

Older units had a switch for 220/240 or 110/120 volt operation. While a nice

feature, it compromised the noise floor slightly. We now hardwire for each country
we send units to. So the few who move thier racks internationally have to use typi-
cal step-up step-down transformers that they are probably using anyways. The vast
majority who don't fly gear globally have got quieter units. It is also a bit safer. We
mark each unit on the back panel for the voltage it is wired for - if in doubt, please
check.

This unit (like most pro gear) is designed for third pin AC mains ground.

See the troubleshooting section if you usually use ground lift adapters ( 2 pin to 3
pin or "cheaters") . You can use the ground posts on the back of this unit rather
than that method. Using these posts are safer and gets better results in most situa-
tions. In some locales and situations, ground lift adapters may be illegal or cause
problems with insurance.
