Inspect the equipment carefully for any sign of damage incurred during transportation.
It has undergone stringent quality control inspection and tests prior to packing and was

contacts. The electrical supply at the socket outlets must provide appropriate
over-current protection.
• Both the mains supply and the quality of earthing must be adequate for the
equipment.
