3 WORKING SAFELY (continued)
The IEC inlet is protected by one fuse - see Section 10 'Technical
Specification' on page en-10 for fuse rating.
The UK mains plug is fitted with a fuse. When replacing this fuse,
ensure a fuse of the correct rating is used - see Section 10 'Technical
Specification' on page en-10 for details.
Elcometer recommends using mains leads approved by a recognised
testing authority. Examples of suitable mains leads are UK, EUR
H05RN-F 3G 0.75mm 2 cable, US SJT 18AWG/3C cable.
