[1] MODIFICATIONS NOT AUTHORIZED BY KONICA MINOLTA

BUSINESS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

KONICA MINOLTA brand products are renowned for their high reliability. This reliability is

achieved through high-quality design and a solid service network.

Product design is a highly complicated and delicate process where numerous mechanical,

physical, and electrical aspects have to be taken into consideration, with the aim of arriving

at proper tolerances and safety factors. For this reason, unauthorized modifications involve

a high risk of degradation in performance and safety. Such modifications are therefore

strictly prohibited. the points listed below are not exhaustive, but they illustrate the reason-

ing behind this policy.

SAFETY WARNINGS

Prohibited Actions

DANGER

• Using any cables or power cord not specified by KMBT.

• Using any fuse or thermostat not specified by KMBT.

Safety will not be assured, leading to a risk of fire and

injury.

• Disabling fuse functions or bridging fuse terminals with

wire, metal clips, solder or similar object.

• Disabling relay functions (such as wedging paper between

relay contacts)

• Disabling safety functions (interlocks, safety circuits, etc.)

Safety will not be assured, leading to a risk of fire and

injury.

• Making any modification to the product unless instructed

by KMBT

• Using parts not specified by KMBT

[2] POWER PLUG SELECTION

In some countries or areas, the power plug provided with the product may not fit wall outlet

used in the area. In that case, it is obligation of customer engineer (hereafter called the CE)

to attach appropriate power plug or power cord set in order to connect the product to the

supply.

Power Cord Set or Power Plug

WARNING

• Use power supply cord set which meets the following

criteria:

- provided with a plug having configuration intended for

the connection to wall outlet appropriate for the prod-

uct's rated voltage and current, and

- the plug has pin/terminal(s) for grounding, and

- provided with three-conductor cable having enough cur-

rent capacity, and

- the cord set meets regulatory requirements for the area.

Use of inadequate cord set leads to fire or electric shock.

• Attach power plug which meets the following criteria:

- having configuration intended for the connection to wall

outlet appropriate for the product's rated voltage and

current, and

- the plug has pin/terminal(s) for grounding, and

- meets regulatory requirements for the area.

Use of inadequate cord set leads to the product connect-

ing to inadequate power supply (voltage, current capacity,

grounding), and may result in fire or electric shock.

• Conductors in the power cable must be connected to ter-

minals of the plug according to the following order:

• Black or Brown: L (line)

• White or Light Blue: N (neutral)

• Green/Yellow: PE (earth)

Wrong connection may cancel safeguards within the

product, and results in fire or electric shock.

[3] CHECKPOINTS WHEN PERFORMING ON-SITE SERVICE

KONICA MINOLTA brand products are extensively tested before shipping, to ensure that all

applicable safety standards are met, in order to protect the customer and customer engi-

neer (hereafter called the CE) from the risk of injury. However, in daily use, any electrical

equipment may be subject to parts wear and eventual failure. In order to maintain safety

and reliability, the CE must perform regular safety checks.

1. Power Supply

Connection to Power Supply

WARNING

• Check that mains voltage is as specified.

Connection to wrong voltage supply may result in fire or

electric shock.

• Connect power plug directly into wall outlet having same

configuration as the plug.

Use of an adapter leads to the product connecting to

inadequate power supply (voltage, current capacity,

grounding), and may result in fire or electric shock.

If proper wall outlet is not available, advice the customer

to contact qualified electrician for the installation.

• Plug the power cord into the dedicated wall outlet with a

capacity greater than the maximum power consumption.

If excessive current flows in the wall outlet, fire may

result.

• If two or more power cords can be plugged into the wall

outlet, the total load must not exceed the rating of the wall

outlet.

If excessive current flows in the wall outlet, fire may

result.

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in the wall outlet

securely.

Contact problems may lead to increased resistance,

overheating, and the risk of fire.

• Check whether the product is grounded properly.

If current leakage occurs in an ungrounded product, you

may suffer electric shock while operating the product.

Connect power plug to grounded wall outlet.

Power Plug and Cord

WARNING

• When using the power cord set (inlet type) that came with

this product, make sure the connector is securely inserted

in the inlet of the product.

When securing measure is provided, secure the cord with

the fixture properly.

If the power cord (inlet type) is not connected to the prod-

uct securely, a contact problem may lead to increased

resistance, overheating, and risk of fire.

• Check whether the power cord is not stepped on or

pinched by a table and so on.

Overheating may occur there, leading to a risk of fire.

• Check whether the power cord is damaged. Check

whether the sheath is damaged.

If the power plug, cord, or sheath is damaged, replace

with a new power cord (with plug and connector on each

end) specified by KMBT. Using the damaged power cord

may result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not bundle or tie the power cord.

Overheating may occur there, leading to a risk of fire.

• Check whether dust is collected around the power plug

and wall outlet.

Using the power plug and wall outlet without removing

dust may result in fire.

• Do not insert the power plug into the wall outlet with a wet

hand.

The risk of electric shock exists.

• When unplugging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the

cable.

The cable may be broken, leading to a risk of fire and

electric shock.
