AC Power

The COLORband PiX-M USB has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage
range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the product's power requirements (circuit breaker, power
outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product's back panel, or refer to
the product's specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product's average current draw
under normal conditions.
• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse).
Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-
use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by
unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if
the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Fuse Replacement

1. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
2. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.
4. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.
