AC Line Voltage Requirements 

 

AC  line  voltage  requirements  for  your  Tester  are  noted  on  the  rear  panel  of  the  instrument.    Do  not 
connect the instrument to a different voltage source.  The cord packaged with your MegaPulse Tester is 
for use in the United States.  If another power cord must be used, the cord must be rated for the maximum 
current noted on the rear panel.  It must also meet the requirements of IEC 227 or IEC 245, and mains 
cords  that  are  certified  or  approved  by  any  recognized  national  test  house  are  regarded  as  meeting this 
requirement.   

 

Fuse Replacement 

 

There is a user-replaceable fuse (F1) located on the rear panel of the instrument.  It is located behind a 
door in the Power Inlet-Power Switch-Fuse Holder device.  The fuse rating is noted on the rear panel.  Do 
not attempt to replace it with a fuse of any other rating. 
 
Use the following procedure to replace the fuse F1: 

1.  Turn the power switch to the OFF position. 
2.  Unplug the instrument from the source of supply. 
3.  Remove the power inlet cord from the instrument. 
4.  Using a small screwdriver, pry open the fuse holder door. 
5.  Replace the fuse with a new one of the correct rating. 
6.  Replace the fuse holder door and power inlet cord.
