A small voltage select switchboard is located on the right of the
power input module. The switchboard, which can be removed
with needle nose pliers, can be oriented four ways to select four
different voltage input ranges.
•
Once the switchboard is removed, text can be read on one side of
the board. This text identifies the switch positions. The text is
always facing the ON/OFF switch when installed in the power
input module. The text matching the desired voltage range
should be on the edge of the switchboard which goes into the
power input module as the arrow on the board indicates. The
white plastic indicator will need to rotate around so that it fits
into the correct groove on the switch board.
•
Once the switchboard is reinstalled, the white plastic indicator
peg should line up with the fuse holder voltage indicator holes.
If the peg does not fit in the hole which indicates the voltage
intended, the switchboard is not installed correctly. Do not
power up the instrument until the voltage input range to be used
is indicated correctly by the peg.
Adjusting the Fuse Configuration or Fuse Replacement
Both USA and European fuses are installed in the reader’s power input
fuse module. The reader’s fuses are configured at the factory prior to
shipping. Use the following procedure if you need to change the fuse
configuration, or replace fuses. A failed fuse is usually an indication of
another problem which a new fuse is not likely to fix. Contact Technical
Services if the fuse replacement fails to rectify the problem.
•
Use a small, flat-blade screw driver to remove the fuse module from
the power input module.
