5.3 - CONNECTION TO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1 - Check that the voltage of the electrical system (mains) is the same as indicated on the ID
label of the machine.
2 - Check that the plug complies with local safety regulations, and that it is provided with
ground connection (earth).
3 - Ensure that the outlet is protected by a "cut-out" (differential magnetic-thermal switch with
sensitivity of less than 30mA per 30ms) or that a device is present which can test the earthing
circuit.
4 - Do not connect other appliances contemporaneously to the same power outlet.
5 - Insert the plug only after checking that the machine switch is in the OFF position.
The IPX series and the model IP170 of the IP serie are supplied without electric plug.
The assembly of the electrical plug must be done in conformity with IEC rule n. 60364-1 and
must be effected by qualified personnel, respecting following prescriptions:
1- Use a plug which complies with the local safety regulations and which must necessarily be
grounded.
2- Make sure that the cord/plug connection is perfectly sealed and water-tight.
3- Use plugs that conform to the indications on the ID Tag.
4- Unroll the cord completely to avoid overheating.
5- Do not crush on the power cord.
6- Do not use the high pressure cleaner if the electric cable is damaged.
7- If the power cord is damaged, its replacement can be effected only by the technical service
personnel or by a qualified technician.
In case of direct connection without plug, the connection to the electric network must be in
compliance with the standard IEC 60364-1 and must be made by a qualified installer. If a plug
connector is used as a sectioning device, this must be in an easily accessible position.
In the threephase models the three power leads of the power cord can be connected to any of
the three phases from the power network. The fourth, green-yellow lead must be connected to
the ground pin.
The standard plug supplied with the 50 Hz version of models IP130, IP140, IP150 from the IP
series is: type SCHUKO 250V - 16A, rule EEC-VII DIN49441 - 2-AR2
The washer must only be connected to a power mains with a maximum network impedance of
Zmax=0.3 Ω.
WARNING: IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE DURING USE OF THIS MACHINE, TURN
THE MACHINE POWER SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION FOR SAFETY REASONS.
