8.3 FUSE 

DRAWER 

The fuse drawer supplied with the Model 370 holds the instrument line fuses and line voltage selection module. 
The drawer holds two 5

20 mm time delay fuses. It requires two good fuses of the same rating to operate safely. 

Fuse ratings are different for different line voltages. Refer to Paragraph 8.5 for details.

LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION 

Use the following procedure to change the instrument line voltage selector. Verify the fuse value whenever line voltage 
is changed. 

 

WARNING:

  To avoid potentially lethal shocks, turn off controller and disconnect it from AC power before 

performing this procedure. 

 

1.  Identify the line input assembly on the instrument rear panel. See Figure 8-2. 
2.  Turn the line power switch OFF (

O

). 

3.  Remove the instrument power cord. 
4.  With a small screwdriver, release the drawer holding the line voltage selector and fuse. 
5.  Slide out the removable plastic fuse holder from the drawer. 
6.  Rotate the fuse holder until the proper voltage indicator shows through the window. 
7.  Verify the proper fuse value. 
8.  Re-assemble the line input assembly in the reverse order. 
9.  Verify the voltage indicator in the window of the line input assembly. 
10.  Connect the instrument power cord. 
11.  Turn the line power switch On (
