Electrical Installation
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED
Before connection please ensure that the line
supply corresponds to that shown on the rating
plate. This equipment requires a supply rated
at:
230V, 50 or 60Hz, ~, single phase.
The unit is supplied with two mains leads fitted
with IEC plugs for connection to the control box.
One has a UK 3 pin plug and the other has a 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 BE
UNDERTAKEN BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
The wires in the mains cable are coloured as
follows:
BROWN - LIVE
BLUE - NEUTRAL
GREEN / YELLOW - EARTH
The control unit is fitted with an IEC socket at
the rear for connection to the mains supply.
The appropriate mains lead should be
connected BEFORE connection to the mains
supply.
Should this lead require replacing, a cable of
1mm2of harmonised code H05W-F connected
to an IEC 320 plug should be used.
N.B. The UK mains lead is protected by a 10A
fuse mounted in the plug top.
