Fusing  

3.7.1

 

Fuse Ratings 

Important  Only replace the fuse with the correct type, having established 

the reason for the fuse blowing.  

 
 
The iRFID101 is fitted with a single fuse on the Live circuit, of either a 1A or 2A, depending 
its configuration. The fuse requirement for the specific model supplied is written on the top 
plate next to the fuse holder. 
 
The iRFID101 contains surge suppression and filtering devices which may cause the fuse 
to blow if the unit is subjected to power surges or transients. 
 
Replacement fuses should be either 1 or 2A Time-lag 20mm x 5mm HRC Fuses, rated at 
250VAC, 1500A Interrupt Rating, for example Littelfuse 0215001.MXP or 0215002.MXP.
