C.3. Changing the surge protector 

To check whether the surge protector is damaged, remove the top cover.  If the surge protector indicator 
LED is on, it is ok.  If the LED is off, the surge protector needs to be replaced.  

The surge protector is located between the power supply bloc and the mains filter. 

Crown Broadcast FME 350 W / 750 W / 1000 W: 

 

1.  Disconnect the unit. 
2.  Unscrew the top cover and remove it.  
3.  Using pliers, remove the metal washers that keep the surge 

protector in place on the rivets and unscrew the cables 
connecting it to the power bloc, to the mains filter and to the 
ground.   

 

1.  Replace the old surge protector with the new one. 
2.  Connect the 5 wires of the terminal as shown. 
3.  Snap the washers on the rivets to secure the 

surge protector in the chassis. 

4.  Set the cover back in place.
