2.3.3 Change of voltage and fuses

Prior to connection to the line, check whether
the voltage set on the selector at the rear of the
3D-CONTROL DAS-3 unit complies with the line
voltage; it may be necessary to change from
230 V to 115 V.

Pull the power plug before changing the
voltage or the fuses

Use a small screwdriver to turn back the
clamping piece of the fuse holder at the rear
of the 3D-CONTROL DAS-3 unit;
lift the fuse holder out of the fuse
department

Remove the fuses

Pull voltage selector out of its holder

Turn voltage selector around 180° and insert
it back in its holder:
the new voltage is visible in the window
