Mains Voltage for details on how to check your fuse settings and change if necessary.
Rack Mounting, Heat & Ventilation
Fusion is a 2U, 19” rackmount piece of equipment designed to sit in the racking of a producer’s desk or similar. Fusion’s no
compromise design is powered by a toroidal transformer and as such, the left-hand side of the unit can become warm to the
touch. It is recommended that ventilation space is left above and below the unit. If this is not possible, then it is recommended
Fusion be placed at the top of the rack, so any heat generated by Fusion rises away from surrounding equipment. The sides of
the Fusion chassis have cut-outs that should under no circumstances be blocked or covered. Always allow Fusion to cool down
before handling.
