Mains Operating Voltage
Check that the instrument operating voltage marked on the rear panel is suitable for the local
supply. Should it be necessary to change the operating voltage, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the instrument is disconnected from the AC supply.
2. Remove the screws holding the case upper and handle and lift off the case upper.
3. Change the transformer connections following the diagram below:
4. Re-assemble in the reverse order.
5. To comply with safety standard requirements the operating voltage marked on the rear panel
must be changed to clearly show the new voltage setting.
Fuse
The AC fuse is located in the fuse drawer in the lower part of the IEC inlet connector. To change
the fuse remove the line cord and open the fuse drawer with a suitable tool.
The correct fuse type is 20 x 5mm 250V HBC time-lag with the following rating:
Model
30V/1A
30V/2A; 18V/3.3A; 56V/1.1A
30V/3A; 15V/5A
Dual and Triple
Make sure that only fuses with the required current rating and of the specified type are used for
replacement. The use of makeshift fuses and the short-circuiting of fuseholders are prohibited.
