Power Chassis Circuit Breaker and Fuse Information
Chassis Circuit Breaker
The power chassis circuit breaker is rated at 15A, and is located on the lower-left front of
the chassis, on the power entry module. It also functions as an on/off switch to isolate the
chassis.
CAUTION: If the circuit breaker trips due to current overload, it indicates
an internal fault. Do not reset the circuit breaker yourself, contact Adept
!
Customer Service at the numbers listed in Chapter 1.
Chassis Fuses
The six chassis fuses (F1 to F6) are located on the power control board. These fuses are not
user-replaceable. If you suspect that a chassis fuse may have blown, contact Customer
Service.
Amplifier Module Fuses
In addition to the fuses in the power chassis, there are additional fuses located inside the
power amplifier modules. The amplifier fuses are not user-replaceable. If you suspect that
an amplifier fuse may have blown, contact Customer Service.
CAUTION: Failure of an amplifier fuse indicates an internal circuit fault
which must be corrected before the fuse is replaced. Do not attempt to
!
replace the fuse yourself, contact Adept Customer Service at the numbers
listed in Chapter 1.
Removing and Installing Amplifier Modules
The Adept PA-4 power chassis is shipped from the factory with the amplifier modules
installed in the chassis. Any unused slots are filled with blank covers. Normally you will
not need to remove the amplifier modules. If you do need to remove and re-install a
module for some reason, follow the instructions below. The four slots in the chassis are not
interchangeable, some slots have special control signals. The amplifier modules are
factory-installed in the correct slots. Contact Adept Customer Service if you need to
relocate any modules.
WARNING: Do not attempt to install or remove any amplifier modules
without first turning off the power to the power chassis and all related
external power supplies. Failure to observe this warning could cause
injury or damage to your equipment.
Removing Amplifier Modules
1. Turn off the power chassis and the Adept MV controller.
2. Note the location of any cables connected to the module, then disconnect them.
3. Loosen the captive screws at the top and bottom of the module.
4. Using both the top handle and bottom handle, pull the module straight out of the
chassis. Remove the module from the chassis and store it in a safe place.
