Power Cords
The Odyssey
®
Imager is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug.
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is a necessary
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, you
will need to replace the outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the
grounding-type plug.
Do not locate the Odyssey Imager where the power cord will be
walked on or exposed to water or chemical spills.
The Odyssey Imager draws approximately 3 amperes at 120V. If an
extension cord is used, make sure the total of the ampere ratings on
the instruments plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the
extension cord ampere rating. Also make sure the total amperage of
instruments plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the
amperage capacity for the outlet. In the U.S., this is usually 15 or 20
amperes.
Power Switch
After March 2010, a power switch will be located above the power
cord input. Push ‘
