7-2. Replacing the Line Fuse

The line power fuse is accessible on the rear panel. The fuse rating label above the ac
power input module shows the correct replacement fuse for each line voltage setting.
Table 7-1 lists the fuse part numbers for each line voltage setting.
To check or replace the fuse, refer to Figure 7-1 and proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect line power.
2. The line power fuse and line voltage switch are located in a compartment on the
right end of the ac input module. To open the compartment and remove the fuse,
insert the blade of a standard screwdriver to the left of the tab located at the left side
of the compartment cover.
3. Pry the tab out of the slot and the compartment cover will pop part way out.
4. Remove the compartment cover with your fingers.
5. The fuse comes out with the compartment cover and can be easily replaced.
6. To reinstall the fuse, push the compartment cover back into the compartment until
the tab locks with the ac input module.
