Fuse Box and Voltage Selector
1. On the back panel, locate the Fuse Box and Voltage
Selector receptacle. (See the Rear Panel diagram on
page 10
for the location.)
2. Insert a small fl athead screwdriver into the slot (1) at the
top of the receptacle and twist to open faceplate. The red
fuse drawer and fuses are located in the Ship Kit.
3. On the face of the fuse drawer are two voltage choices.
Based on your country, select the proper fuses to install.

CAUTION: It is imperative that the correct voltage
is used. Serious damage can occur if the incorrect
voltage is selected.
4. Insert the fuses as shown in
Figure 2,
with a short fuse
at the contact end of the receptacle. Then, turn the drawer

WIRE A TEST LOAD
Use of a test load is recommended for setup of the QCL
instrument. Use the Wavelength test loads listed on page 1, or
when building your own test load, a 10
Ω
resistor with a 50 W
power rating is recommended for the QCL500, QCL1000,
and QCL1500. For the QCL2000, a 50 W 5
Ω
resistor is
recommended.
•
Install the test load by either connecting to the QCL SMA
port or wiring the load to PIN 5 and PIN 9 on the QCL
D-SUB as shown in
Figure 3
.
