Replacing the Stage Controller Fuse

Switch off the stage controller, disconnect it from the power supply and remove the

mains cord.

Insert a screwdriver into the slot at the side of the fuse drawer, and pull out and flip to

one side over the mains inlet.
The fuse may now be removed.

Fit the replacement fuse into the fuse drawer.
Make sure that you fit the fuse in the top slot. You require a 1.6 A time-lag fuse (part

number 09991641).

Refit the fuse drawer.
