Power Connection

3-4 1500 Series A2
Warning Contact with electrical components can cause a lethal shock.
Warning Before connecting the unit to a power source, check plug and
power cord for possible damage. Do not use damaged components to
connect the unit to the power source!
1. Before connecting the unit to the power source, verify that the voltage
of the outlet matches the specifications on the cabinet nameplate. If the
ratings given for voltage (V) and maximum current (A) do not match,
do not connect the unit to the power source.
2. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded and fused outlet.
The outlet must be fused separately, using a fusible link T15A or using
a circuit breaker B15. If the configuration of the receptacle does not
match the power plug, consult a qualified electrician to replace or
install the correct receptacle.
3. Make sure that the power cord is routed away from the counterweight
and cable guide. The left side of the cabinet has additional fastening
points that can be used for routing the power cord.
4. Make sure that the power cord is not stretched or pinched.
To protect from accidental disconnection, the power source outlets should
be located out of casual reach and be accessible only to authorized persons.
Ideally, the outlet should be located above the cabinet to avoid accidental
shut-off.
The power supply cord is the mains disconnect. Maintain access at all
times.
If the unit includes service valves (gas, water), the valves must be installed
properly to ground, to the unit's main ground.
