WARNING: THIS COMPUTER MUST BE EARTHED

Important:

The wires in the mains lead for the computer are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and yellow Earth

Blue Neutral

Brown Live

For United Kingdom users:

The moulded plug must be used with the fuse and fuse carrier firmly in place. The fuse carrier is of the same basic colour (though not necessarily the same shade of that colour) as the coloured insert in the base of the plug. Different manufacturers plugs and fuse carriers are not interchangeable. In the event of loss of the fuse carrier, the moulded plug MUST NOT be used. Either replace the moulded plug with another conventional plug wired as described below, or obtain a replacement fuse carrier from an Acorn Computers authorised dealer. In the event of the fuse blowing it should be replaced, after clearing any faults, with a 3 Amp fuse that is ASTA approved to BS1362.

For all users:

If the socket outlet available is not suitable for the plug supplied, either a different lead should be obtained or the plug should be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted and wired as noted below. The moulded plug which was cut off must be disposed of as it would be a potential shock hazard if it were to be plugged in with the cut off end of the mains cord exposed

As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E, or by the safety earth symbol - or coloured green, or green and yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N, or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L, or coloured red.

Exposure

The computer should not be exposed to direct sunlight or moisture for long periods.

Ventilation

Do not block the ventilation slots in the case -- see text for details.

NOTE: Your Master computer contains an EEPROM integrated circuit which is used to maintain configuration information after the removal of mains power. This device has an effective lifetime of approximately 10,000 programming operations. The chip can, however, be replaced when necessary.
