Pin 2 is positive, pin 3 is negative and pin 1 is shield. 5 POWER IEC jack connects anywhere in the world to AC line voltage, 100-240 VAC. Important Note CHASSIS GROUNDING If after hooking up your system it exhibits excessive hum or buzzing, there is an incompatibility in the grounding configuration between units somewhere. Your mission, should you accept it, is to discover how your particular system wants to be grounded. Here are some things to try: 1. If your equipment is in a rack, verify that all chassis are tied to a good earth ground, either through the line cord grounding pin or the rack screws to another grounded chassis. 2. Units with outboard power supplies do NOT ground the chassis through their line cords. Make sure these units are grounded either to another chassis which is earth grounded, or directly to the grounding screw on an AC outlet cover by means of a wire connected to a screw on the chassis with a star washer to guarantee proper contact. 3.
