If it is desired to completely power off (de-energize) the module, a
conveniently located ac mains disconnect must be supplied or the power
cable must be unplugged from the module or the ac mains supply.

The PowerCon connector is a locking connecter. To lock, twist 1/4 turn
clockwise after fully inserting into the jack. It is recommended the
connection be made at the module before connection to the ac mains supply.

AC MAINS FUSE

If excessive ac mains input current is detected, an internal fuse can blow.
This can occur for a variety of reasons, such as internal failure,
excessive ac mains voltage, or excessive amplifier output levels.

If the fuse blows, the fuse must be replaced with a fuse of the correct
type and rating as listed below. In the unlikely event the fuse blows
again, internal failure is indicated. This will require troubleshooting and
repair by a qualified service technician. Do not attempt further use of the
module until such repairs are made. See Section 8.2 “Troubleshooting”.
