External Supply Protection 
The mains power cord supplied with this product is rated at 10A maximum and 
must be protected from overload by an external fuse or circuit breaker. 
Fused Plugs (UK-style) 
If the power cord is fitted with a UK-style BS1363 3-pin plug (i.e. with provision for an internal fuse), 
then it must be fitted with a BS1362 ASTA approved 1 inch cartridge fuse. 
This fuse must be rated at a maximum of 10A/250V. Since the current draw of the PSU is less than 
1A, a fuse of a lower rating not less that 3A/250V may be used. 
WARNING: Never attempt to fit a fuse or circuit breaker of a higher maximum rating than shown 
above. 
Unfused Plugs or Hard-wired 
If the power cord is fitted with an unfused plug, or is hard-wired into a power strip (mains distribution 
batten), then the power cord must be protected by an external fuse or circuit breaker of a rating shown 
in the table below: 
Supply Voltage 
110V nominal  230V nominal 
Maximum Fuse Rating  10A  10A 
Minimum Fuse Rating  3A  3A 
WARNING: Never attempt to fit a fuse or circuit breaker of a higher 
maximum rating than shown above.
