setting of 23.0 kg cm (20 inch-pounds).

14. Position the wires in the wire chase up the side of the end panel and out of the way of the power board.

in the end panel and the power supply.
16. Tighten the strain relief’s retention nut on the outside of the end panel to secure the new power cord.
17. If you are installing a plug on the new power cord, use a plug that meets national and local electrical codes. The
plug must be connected to the power cord by a licensed electrician.

supply. Position the handle over the holes in the top of the cover, then use the 2 screws to secure the cover.

Replace the power cord (400 V Ce)
1. Turn OFF the power, disconnect the power cord, and disconnect the gas supply.
2. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the 2 screws from the handle on the top of the power supply. Tip the end
panels back slightly so that you can get the edges of the handle out from underneath them. Lift the cover off the
power supply. Remove the Mylar barrier that protects the power board.
The 400 V CE power cord has 3 wires – brown, black, and gray – that connect to the power switch and a green/
yellow ground wire that connects to the heat sink.
3. Remove the rear end panel or gently tilt it away from the power supply until you can access the screws that secure
the power cord wires to the back of the power switch.
NOTE: To remove the rear end panel, you must first remove the air fitting.
4. Remove the 3 screws that secure the power cord wires to the power switch and gently pull the wires out of the
switch.
5. Remove the screw that holds the green/yellow ground wire to the heat sink.
