Electrical connections

The instrument MUST be connected to a grounded power socket. Use only the power
cable provided that matches the power supply (outlets) of the country of use. Do not use
an extension cable without a ground wire!
Checking the voltage
The Leica RM2255 can be connected to various
electrical power grids (depending on voltage and
frequency) and, for this reason, is always deliv-
ered with a set of various power cables.
New instruments are factory-set to 230 volts.
This is documented by a yellow label (230 VOLT)
on the rear of the instrument, which covers the
power switch and power socket.

selector while the instrument is con-
nected to the power supply.
