The system is shipped with the power cords requested at the point of order. The customer is responsible for ensuring that their power outlets are compatible with the power cords shipped with the product. The power cord sets must comply with local regulations. To ensure electrical safety, use only the power cord set included with your Waters product. Do not use the Waters-provided power cord for any other products. The power cord set is defined as the cable with plugs at both ends.

Note: If you want to install ancillary equipment (for example, compressors), you may need additional power outlets, possibly requiring 3-phase supplies. You must confirm such supplemental needs with the local Waters agent prior to the start of the installation.

To help determine the receptacles required for the components in your system, refer to the following table.
