Power connection In power supply systems, in which strong HF interferences (transients) are su- perimposed on the power voltage, the 776 Dosimat should be connected via an additional power line filter, e.g. METROHM 615 model. The main cables supplied with the instrument are three-core and equipped with a plug with an earthing pin.

Whatever the case, it is always advisable to localise the fault with the diag- nostic tests, which can be performed quickly and simply. The customer need call Metrohm service only when the instrument really has a fault. Fur- ther, he can use the results of the specific diagnostic function to provide the service engineer with much more precise information.
