Techne TC-3000G - Manual (Page 5)

2. Before connecting the instrument to the mains electricity supply, check the voltage against the rating
plate (located on the back of the unit). Please note that the unit must be earthed to ensure proper
electrical safety. The TC-3000G has a switch-mode power supply which is suitable for use with
universal AC input voltages between 100 and 230V. Connect the mains cable to a suitable plug
according to the table below.
Connections 220V-240V, 50/60Hz Supply 110V-120V, 50/60Hz Supply
Live brown black
Neutral blue white
Earth green/yellow green
3. UK ONLY: The fused plug supplied with the mains cable is fitted with a 10 Amp fuse to protect the
instrument and the user.
4. Plug the mains cable into the socket on the back of the instrument.
5. Place the unit on a suitable flat bench or in a fume cupboard if required, ensuring that the air inlet
vents on the underside are free from obstruction. Position the instrument with a minimum distance all
round of 200mm from walls or other items and between each unit if multiple units are being used to
permit efficient air flow for each instrument.
6. Switch on the instrument:
I mains switch On
O mains switch Off
Replacement cable
Should the mains lead need replacement, a cable of 1mm 2 of harmonized code H05VV-F connected to
an IEC320 plug should be used. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
