Kurios is supplied with a 115 V power cord for use in North America only. For all other applications, use an IEC
320 compatible power cord fitted with a plug appropriate for your particular power socket. Make sure that the line
voltage rating marked on the rear panel agrees with your local power supply and that the appropriate fuses are
installed. Changing of the main fuse can be done by the user. With the exception of this fuse, there are no user-
serviceable parts in this product.
CAUTION
Always connect the optical head to the main controller unit before powering on.
Mobile telephones, cellular phones or other radio transmitters should not be used with a range of 3 m of this unit
since the electromagnetic field intensity may exceed the maximum allowable disturbance values, according to
EN50082-1.
The maximum current output from the optical head connector is 1 A, and the optical head does not support hot
plugging. Plugging or unplugging the connector while the unit is powered on can cause damage to the optical
head and/or controller.
