14.2 Changing the setting of the voltage
selector
If the voltage selector is set to an incorrect
voltage, this can cause severe damage to the
instrument!
The voltage selector is set to the voltage that
was indicated on the order form in the fac-
tory. The name plate reads the power rating
of the voltage selector setting.
A change will only be required if the setting
does not correspond to the voltage available
in your laboratory.
If the setting is changed, please make sure to
change the fuses as well!
The actual voltage setting can be seen in the small
