7.3. Fuse and Line Voltage Selection

The fuse drawer supplied with the M81-SSM holds the instrument line fuses and line voltage selection module. The drawer holds two 5 mm × 20 mm (0.2 in × 0.79 in) time delay fuses. It requires two good fuses of the same rating to operate safely.

Fuse Replacement

Use this procedure to remove and replace a line fuse.

Warning

To avoid potentially lethal shocks, turn off controller and disconnect it from AC power before performing these procedures.

Caution

For continued protection against fire hazard, replace only with the same fuse type and rating specified for the line voltage selected.

Note

Test fuse with an ohmmeter. Do not rely on visual inspection of fuse.

  1. Locate the line input assembly on the instrument rear panel.

  2. Remove the instrument power cord.

  3. With a small screwdriver, release the drawer holding the line voltage selector and fuse.

  4. Remove existing fuse(s). Replace with proper slow-blow (time-delay) fuse ratings.

  5. Re-assemble the line input assembly in reverse order.

  6. Verify voltage indicator in the line input assembly window.

  7. Connect the instrument power cord.
