TIPS & ADVICE SECTION
Tips: Fuses
Your amplifier is designed to use “slow blow” type fuses. These are contained in the fuse drawer
built into the power receptacle.
In the fuse drawer are two fuses. The one furthers in is the active fuse. The one nearer to the outside
is a spare.
The fuse ratings are labeled on the back of the power supply. Be certain to use only the fuse rating
applicable to your local ac supply voltage.
With a high power amplifier, there can be an appreciable surge of current for a few milliseconds
when power is switched on. Over time, this can fatigue a fuse and cause it to fail at the instant that
power is applied. This may be considered normal.
In installations where the ac power is exceptionally stiff, you may find that the fuse blows every
second or third turn on. In such cases, please contact the factory for additional advice.
