Fuse Replacement - Lastolite lumen 8 User Manual

The F200/400 fuse protects the unit from further damage after a component malfunction. In many
cases, the cause of a fuse blowing may simply be a modelling lamp failure. Some lamps temporarily
short-circuit when they fail causing the unit's fuse to blow; there may then be no other malfunction in
the unit. Once the fuse and lamp has been replaced, the unit can be ready to use once again.
If the fuse has blown, both the illuminated Power on/off switch and the Ready indicator will not light
when power is applied to the unit.
Note: It is important to replace the fuse only with one of the same rating. For both units, the fuse type
is as follows: 6Amp (or 6.3Amp), 20mm, 220-250V, Antisurge, Ceramic.
The fuse designation is sometimes written as: 6.3A(T) or 6.3AL
For convenience, all flash units are provided with a spare fuse built into the fuse-holder.
The following procedure must be taken to replace the fuse:
The fuse-holder is accessed by first removing
the mains plug from the unit. The fuse-holder
can then be gently levered out to reveal the
main fuse (A) and the spare fuse (B).
Unhook the main fuse and discard. Push out
the spare fuse from the holder and place it into
the original position of the main fuse.
DO NOT OPEN THE UNIT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
OR ATTEMPT A REPAIR YOURSELF

Fuse Replacement

Replace the fuse-holder into the mains socket
and plug the mains plug back again. If the
fuse-holder has been incorrectly replaced, the
mains plug will not fit.
When the power is switched on, the Power
switch will illuminate and the unit will come to
Ready. If this does not happen, there may be
another fault, possibly internal to the unit. The
unit then may require repairing by a qualified
technician.
