8 PM-1600
Electrical Safety Information
Power Cable
The PM-1600’s power cable is its disconnecting device.
The PM-1600 uses an international safety standard three-wire power cable.
This cable serves as a ground when connected to an appropriate AC power
receptacle. The type of power cable supplied with each unit is determined
according to the country of destination.
Only qualified electricians should connect a new plug if needed. The color
coding used in the electric cable depends on the cable. New plugs should
meet the local safety requirements and include the following features:
➤
adequate load-carrying capacity
➤
ground connection
➤
cable clamp
➤
If the unit is to be powered via an auto-transformer for voltage
reduction, the common terminal must be connected to the grounded
power source pole.
➤
Insert the plug into a power outlet with a protective ground contact. Do
not use an extension cord without a protective conductor.
➤
Before powering on the unit, the protective ground terminal of the unit
must be connected to a protective conductor using the unit power
cord.
➤
Do not tamper with the protective ground terminal.

To avoid electrical shock, do not operate the unit if there are signs
of damage to any part of the outer surface (covers, panels, etc.).
To avoid serious injury, the following precautions must be observed
before powering on the unit.
