ASM-60Installation and Operation ManualChapter 2 Installation and Setup

Connecting the Power

Before switching on this unit and connecting any other cable, the protective earth terminals of this unit must be connected to the protective ground

conductor of the power cord. If you are using an extension cord (power cable) Warning make sure it is grounded as well.

Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or outside the instrument) or disconnecting of the protective earth terminal can make this unit dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.

The line fuse is located in an integral-type fuse holder located on the rear panel. Make sure that only fuses of the required rating, as marked on the rear panel, are used for replacement. Do not use repaired fuses or short-circuit the fuse holder. Always disconnect the mains cable before removing or replacing the fuse. Whenever it is likely that the fuse protection has been damaged, make the unit inoperative and secure it against unintended operation.

AC power is supplied to the ASM-60 modem through a standard 3-prong plug with an integral fuse holder (see Figure 2-1).

AC power should be supplied through the 5 ft (1.5m) standard power cable terminated by a standard 3-prong plug. The cable is provided with the unit.

➤To connect the AC power:

1.Connect the power cable to the power connector on the ASM-60 rear panel.

2.Connect the power cable to the mains outlet.

The unit will be turned on automatically upon connection to the mains.
