Connecting AC Power to the LS-10E
The scanner’s AC power cord is a standard three-wire grounding plug. This plug
will fit only a grounded AC outlet. Intended to be a safety feature,
the grounding connec­
tor should not be defeated.
Additionally, an electronic surge protector is highly recom­
mended.
Safety Precautions When Connecting
AC Power to the LS-10E
The following precautions should be complied with when connecting AC power
to the scanner;
1. Always use a proper power source of 115V AC or 230V AC, 50 to 60 Hz.
2. Do not hold the cord itself when plugging or unplugging the AC power. Hold
the plastic portion of the connector itself rather than pulling on the cord.
3. If you lose the supplied power cord, use an appropriate replacement that is subject
to the voltage of the power source, using the following guidelines:
• If a 230V AC power source is used, make sure that the plug is rated at 250V AC,
15A (NEMA6P-16).
• If a 115V AC power source is used, the plug must be rated at 120V AC, lOA.
• The gauge of the cord must be at least 18 gauge (remember, the smaller the gauge,
the thicker the wire. For example, 18 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge).
