LINE FUSE AND VOLTAGE
SELECTOR
There are a pair of line fuses inside the fuse
drawer that is located on the back of the
amplifier. This drawer also has a window in it
that shows the mains voltage that the amplifier
uses.
To change the fuses or the mains voltage you
must open the drawer. The drawer is spring
loaded and will pop out if you release the latch
that holds it.
To release the latch, you will need a small tool
such as a small screwdriver or ball point pen.
Put the tool in the notch as shown in the draw-
ing, and push the latch towards the voltage
window. The drawer will release and you can
gently grasp it and pull it out of the amplifier.
With the drawer in your hand, you will see the
fuses. You can simply pull them out of their
spring clips and replace them.
A fuse blows to protect the amplifier for a reason.
You should identify the cause and correct it
before replacing the fuses.
The correct fuse size is 5mm x 20mm. For 200
volt circuits, a 5 amp, slow-blow type should be
used. For 100 volt circuits, a 10 amp, slow-blow
type should be used.
The mains voltage can be selected so that the
amplifier can be used anywhere in the world. To
do so, remove the fuse drawer and look inside
where the drawer fits. You will see a white
plastic "star" that shows the voltage on it.
Remove this star by pulling it straight out of the
amplifier. You can do this by putting your little
finger or a ball point pen or small screwdriver
into the recess on the left side of the star and
pulling it out.
With the star in your hand, you will see that it
has four sides and each side has a different
voltage printed on it. These are 100, 120, 220,
and 240. Pick the one that best matches the
mains voltage in your location. If your mains
voltage is 230, use 240 volts on the star.
Orient the star so that your voltage will face
outward from the amplifier and show through
the window in the drawer, then push it back into
the amplifier. You can now slide the drawer back
into place and press firmly against its spring until
it is flush and the latch "snaps" and holds the
drawer in place.
