To avoid electrical shock, the power cord protective grounding conductor must be connected to
ground. Do not operate without cover installed. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Thorlabs provides the proper 120 VAC power input cable with each TC200 for use in the United States and the
proper 230 VAC power input cable with each TC200-EC for use in Europe. If using this unit anywhere else, the user
will need to supply a properly grounded power cable to power the unit.
All statements regarding safety of operation and technical data in this instruction manual will only apply when the
unit is operated correctly.
Before applying power to your TC200 system, make sure that the protective conductor of the 3
conductor mains power cord is correctly connected to the protective earth contact of the socket
outlet! Improper grounding can cause electric shock resulting in severe injury or even death.
Make sure that the line voltage rating marked on the rear panel agrees with your local supply and that the
appropriate fuses are installed. Changing of the mains fuse can be done by the user (see page 28 for details).
With the exception of the mains fuses, there are no user-serviceable parts in this product.
This device can only be returned when packed into the complete original packaging, including all foam packing

Mobile telephones, cellular phones or other radio transmitters are not to be used within the range of three meters
of this unit since the electromagnetic field intensity may exceed the maximum allowed disturbance values according
