Selecting The Input Power - Micromeritics FlowPrep 060 Operator's Manual

Selecting the Input Power

Selecting the Input Power
All instruments leave the factory set for 120 VAC and with the line fuse removed. The correct
setting of the universal power entrance must be checked and the appropriate fuse(s) installed
before the degasser can be operated. The degasser is designed to operate with 100, 120, 220, or
240 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz. Voltage selection and fusing are made at the power connector, which
is located on the rear panel of the unit.
The power cord should be disconnected from the degasser before removing the cover
from the input power connector. Failure to disconnect the power cord could result in
electrical shock.
1. Make sure the power cord is disconnected from the degasser.
2. Insert the tip of a small pocket screwdriver (or pointed object) into the left side of the
power module located on the rear panel of the degasser.
3. Gently lift up until the cover lifts approximately 1/4 inch, then swing the cover to the left;
the cover is hinged and cannot be removed.
4. Remove the fuse block (you may have to use needle-nose pliers to grasp the fuse block).
5. The input power connector can be used with either a single-fuse arrangement (100-120
VAC) or a double-fuse arrangement (200-240 VAC). Insert the appropriate fuse(s) for the
input power source.
The fuses used in the FlowPrep must be identical in type and rating to that specified.
Use of other fuses could result in electrical shock and/or damage to the degasser.
