Important ! The peg indicating the intended voltage should
protrude through the cover. Do not power up the instrument
until the voltage range to be used is indicated correctly by
the peg.
Reconfigure or Replace Fuses
Important ! Turn off and unplug the reader before
reconfiguring or replacing the fuses.
Either USA or International style fuses are installed in the fuse holder that is located
inside the power input module. The reader’s fuses are configured at the factory prior to
shipping. Use the procedure described below if you need to reconfigure or replace
fuses.
™
A failed fuse is usually an indication of another problem that a new fuse is
not likely to remedy. Contact BioTek’s Technical Assistance Center if the
fuse replacement fails to resolve the problem. See
Chapter 1 for contact
information.
The fuse holder can have either one of two fuse configurations:
•
100/120 V (USA): A fused hot AG 1.5 A, 250 V Slo Blow (PN 46024), or
•
230/240 V (International): Both hot and neutral fused with a 5 x 20 mm, 0.63 A,
250 V Slo Blow (PN 46038).
To reconfigure fuses:
1. Turn off and unplug the reader.
2. Insert the needle-nose pliers into the two holes on the cover of the power input
module. Lift the cover open and swing it back toward the power cord socket.
3. Using the pliers, gently pull the fuse holder out of the power input module and
turn it over.
Changing to the
100/120 V
Configuration:
•
Remove the two 0.63 A, 250 V fuses.
•
Install one AG 1.5 A, 250 V fuse (PN 46024) on the
fuse holder on the side opposite the original 0.63 A
fuse location.
•
Reinstall the fuse holder with the fuse toward the
back of the power input module.
