The fuse is the first line of defense should any short circuit, large spike, or other problems occur within the power wiring circuitry. If the fuse is not operating normally, it will open up, thereby disconnecting the input power from the SeeGull MXflex Scanning Receiver. When the fuse “blows”, there will be no power to the receiver. -
Page 24: Received Signal Strength Appears Low
® SeeGull MXflex Hardware Reference Manual 4. Replace the fuse with an identical 12-amp fast blow fuse. Note: Only use a 12-amp fast blow fuse; any other fuse value may cause severe problems with the unit and void the warranty. In order not to violate the safety approval of the receiver, the fuse must be safety approved. -
