FUSE PROTECTION

When any rail fuse is damaged one or more fuse warning LED’s will light. These LED’s are located next to the fuse that has blown. To replace the fuse, steady the amplifier, then firmly push in the round fuse cap with your fingers. When the cap cannot push in any further, rotate the cap anticlockwise (to the left) until it comes to a stop. Release inward pressure on the fuse cap and it can now be removed from the amplifier. If any of the rail fuses need to be replaced, do so only with 7.5 amp normal blow fuses.

To re-fit the fuse, insert the fuse and gently turn it as far as possible anticlockwise (to the left). Now push the fuse cap in firmly, then turn clockwise (to the right) until it comes to a stop. Release inward pressure on the cap and the fuse will be fitted securely.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT FIT A FUSE WITH A HIGHER RATING.

Note that fuse failure may indicate a severe problem. Check all speakers and speaker cables for damage/short circuit, etc. Should the amplifier continue to suffer rail fuse failure, contact your PLINIUS dealer.

MAINS/LINE FUSE

A Mains/Line fuse is fitted within the IEC socket on the rear of the amplifier. A small drawer at the bottom of this socket may be removed (after the IEC plug is removed) by levering it out with a flat blade screwdriver. The fuse fitted should be rated at no greater than 10 amps normal blow.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT FIT A FUSE WITH A HIGHER RATING.

In the unusual event that this fuse should blow, you must first establish the cause of this failure (such as power surges, damaged mains cable, etc.) before replacing the fuse with one of the same rating and type. Should the amplifier continue to suffer mains fuse failure, contact your PLINIUS dealer.
