Power and Grounding
Power Supply
1. Power requirements: 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz (Only 50Hz is printed on the
rating plate of some machines.)
2. Insert the power plug securely into the wall socket.
3. Make sure that the wall outlet is near the machine and readily
accessible.
4. Do not connect other equipment to the same socket.
5. Do not step on or set anything on the power cord.
6. Do not connect other equipment to the same extension cord.
7. Be sure that the power cord is not in a position where it would trip
someone.
8. The wall outlet must be easily accessible.
Grounding
Ground the machine and the lightning protection circuit in accordance with
regulations. Do not ground to gas or water pipes, or to a telephone ground
plug. Proper grounding is to the ground terminal of the power outlet. Be sure
that the ground terminal of the power outlet is properly grounded.
The lightning protection circuit for the machine requires the machine to be
properly grounded. If proper grounding is provided, about 90% of lightning
damage can be prevented. For safety, be sure to connect the machine to a
three-prong grounded outlet.
Cold Weather Power-up
Avoid raising the room temperature abruptly when it is below 14°C, or
condensation may form inside the machine.
1. Raise the room temperature to 10°C at less than 20°C per hour.
2. Wait for 30 to 60 minutes.
3. Turn the power on.
4. Do not use the machine near a humidifier.
