Maintenance

Apollo does not contain a fuse or other user-replaceable parts. The unit is internally calibrated at the factory

and recalibration should never be required. No internal user adjustments are available.

Voltage Selection

Although there are only two versions of the Apollo hardware unit (DUO and QUAD), the retail package contents

for these models depend on the destination market; the difference is the included power supply unit (PSU). The

PSU for Japan accepts 100VAC only, while the PSU for the rest of the world is auto-sensing for 110VAC –

240VAC. Be sure to use only the correct PSU for your region.
