Grounding - Lab.gruppen PLM series Operation Manual

The PLM uses primary switching, which means the mains power is rectified on the primary side of the
transformer. This makes the power supply insensitive to mains frequency variation, and it will operate
normally on line frequencies from 45 to 75 Hz.
If the mains plug (AC plug) fitted to the mains cable (AC cord) is not appropriate for your country, it can be
removed and a locally-sourced one fitted instead, observing the color coding in the table below:
If you are not 100% confident of your competence to replace the mains plug (AC plug), the task should
be carried out by qualified personnel.
Once a suitable AC power supply is connected, the device can be turned on using the front panel power
button. When turned on, a diagnostic routine is performed and the power button LED changes from red
(Standby) to green (Active).
In-rush current is controlled and limited during the
soft-start sequence. This enables multiple PLMs on
the same AC mains circuit to be turned on
simultaneously.

Grounding

Analog inputs feature Iso-Float
coupled isolation with the advantages of clean, direct-coupled inputs.
The audio converters are galvanically isolated, and not connected to the main ground. High-speed transform-
ers and opto-isolators create a barrier between the device and the outside electrical environment.
The Iso-Float feature is activated by default, but
may be disabled via the Lake Controller software,
or via the front panel menu.
