Installing the AC Input Fuse

To install the 5 Amp AC Input Fuse:

Confirm that 115 VAC or 230 VAC is turned-off at the source.

Install the replacement fuse in the terminal block housing.

Close the fascia-door of the Sigma A-CP Fire Control Panel.

Secure the retaining-screw to the fascia-door and the cabinet of the Sigma A-CP Fire Control Panel.

Connect NAC Power and Power inserts from the fascia terminal strip of the Sigma A-CP Fire Control Panel.

Secure the retaining-screw to the fascia-door and the cabinet of the Sigma A-CP Fire Control Panel.

Turn on 115 VAC or 230 VAC at the power source.

Test the fire control panel by operating it to determine that it functions.
