Electrical Installation
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED
Before connection, please read and
understand this instruction manual and
ensure that the line supply corresponds to
that shown on the rating plate.
Power consumption is:
Model Power Frequency Fuses
SC6+ 70W 50/60Hz 2xF3.15A
The SC6 model is supplied with two mains leads
fitted with IEC plugs for connection to the
instrument. One has a UK 3 pin plug and the
other has 2 pin “Shuko” plug for connection to
the mains. Choose the lead appropriate for your
electrical installation and discard the other.
Should neither lead be suitable, take the lead
with the UK plug and replace the plug with a
suitable alternative. This involves cutting off the
moulded plug, preparing the cable and
connecting to the rewireable plug in accordance
with its instructions.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS OPERATION
SHOULD ONLY BE UNDERTAKEN BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
NOTE: Refer to the equipment’s rating plate to
ensure that the plug and fusing are suitable for
the voltage and wattage stated. The wires in the
mains cable are coloured as follows:
Live - Brown
Neutral - Blue
Earth - Green/yellow
The instruments are fitted with an IEC socket at
the rear of the instrument for connection of the
mains lead. The appropriate mains lead should be
connected BEFORE connection to the mains
supply.
Should the mains lead need replacement a cable
of 1mm
2 of harmonised code H05W-F connected
to an IEC320 plug should be used. N.B. the UK
mains lead is protected by a 10A fuse mounted
in the plug top.

General Description
The unit consists of an illuminated receiver plate
and a large LED display. The pressure of marking
a colony with a felt-tip pen registers a count by
an audible bleep and advance on a digital display.
A built in averaging facility allows multiple plates
to be counted and then the average colony count
calculated. The pressure required to register a
count can be adjusted.
A choice of light or black background is available,
and the unit is supplied complete with one
Wolffhuegel graticule, segmentation disc and
centering adapters for 50-90mm dishes. A
printer and a magnifier for counting very small
colonies are available as accessories.
Counting results can also be sent to a computer
via USB.
