If these checks fail to remedy the loss of power, replace the fuses. You can obtain
replacement fuses from Molecular Devices.
CAUTION!
Do not touch or loosen screws or parts other than those specifically
designated in the instructions. Doing so could cause misalignment and possibly void
the warranty.
The fuses are located in the fuse carrier which is part of the power switch on the rear of the
instrument.
To replace the fuses:
WARNING! HIGH VOLTAGE
Always turn off the power and disconnect the
power cord from the main power source before you do a maintenance procedure
that requires removal of a panel or cover or disassembly of an interior instrument
component.
1. Power off the instrument.
2. Unplug the power cord from the power port.
3. Use a small slot-head screwdriver to gently press on the carrier-release tab and then pull
the fuse carrier to remove it from the instrument.
4. Gently pull the old fuses from the carrier by hand.
5. Gently place new fuses into the carrier by hand.
6. Press the fuse carrier into the instrument until the carrier snaps into place.
7. Plug the power cord into the power port.
8. Turn on power to the instrument.
Note:
If the instrument still does not power on after you change the fuses, contact
Molecular Devices technical support.
