WARNING:
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.
WARNING:
It is important that a console is never left connected to a defective PSU.
This may cause serious damage to the console.
WARNING:
The power cord must be disconnected before removing cover plates. The
power supply MUST be earthed. Under no circumstances should the mains
earth be disconnected from the power supply unit. Lethal voltages are present
on the printed circuit boards. Do not operate the unit with the top cover
removed.
Mains Lead Connections
FOR UK USER ONLY
All mains leads must have the green/yellow wire connected to mains earth. The
cores of the lead are colour coded:
Brown = LIVE
Blue = NEUTRAL
Green / Yellow = EARTH
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.
q The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be connected to
the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the
Earth symbol.
q The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black.
q The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured Red.
Never remove any green/yellow earth connections. If you have earth loops in
your installation, they must never be ‘solved’ by removing safety earth
connections. The IEC connector is supplied, moulded to the mains lead and
should not be rewired.
