10-4. Replacement of rapid fuse

 

 

 

If a rapid fuse has blown, the monitor lamp (FUSE) lights up and an alarm signal is output.

 

 

Check the load side to find the cause of the blown rapid fuse, and replace the blown fuse with a new one.

 

 

The replacement rapid fuse should be of the same rating.

 

 

Spare rapid fuses are not included in the instrument package. They are available from us or a fuse dealer.

 

 

Rapid fuse replacement procedure 

 

1. 

Remove the front cover of the instrument. (For 500A and 600A: After removing the front cover, also remove the top cover.)

 

2. 

Remove the alarm signal microswitch from the blown rapid fuse. 

 

For 20A and 30A, the microswitch may not be removed unless you first remove the fuse body.

 

Note 12: The microswitch is connected to the circuit board with leads and a connector. Care should be taken not to pull the leads or 

apply a load to the microswitch. Doing so may cause connector disconnection or damage.

 

3. 

Unscrew the fuse fastening screw, remove the blown fuse, and attach a new rapid fuse.

 

(Tighten the screw firmly.)

 

Note 13: If using a screwdriver, be careful not to allow it to hit the circuit board and other internal components.

 

4. 

Firmly insert the alarm signal microswitch into the rapid fuse. (Insert it all the way to the stopper.)

 

5. 

Install the front cover of the instrument. (For 500A and 600A: After installing the top cover, also install the front cover.)

 

 

 

 

*

 

For the location of the front and top covers of 500A and 600A, refer to the external dimension drawings on page 7.
