When working with the A.C. power cords for the power to platform and the battery charger replacement cords, the wire colors for U.S./CA (North America) power cords may differ from U.K./Australia wire colors. The U.S./CA follow the NEC standardized colors. The U.K./Australia wiring uses the IEC standardized colors. The table below shows the corresponding colors for the NEC and IEC wire identification.

To help technicians identify the wiring colors, we have added the wiring color code identification and cross-reference to the service manuals. A label is also being installed on the power to platform cable showing the wire colors and how they correspond (see Figure 1). As you can see, the decal depicts the NEC wire colors and their corresponding IEC wire colors.
