Replacement of Power Fuse

The LX-300 is protected from over-voltage conditions by a 2.5A, 240V slow-blow, 520mm fuse. This fuse is located in a fuse drawer beneath the power plug socket. The power plug must be removed to access the fuse.

1.Power off the LX-300. Remove power cable.

2.Open the fuse drawer, located immediately below the power plug socket.

The fuse drawer has two compartments: a spare fuse compartment, located at the front of the drawer; and the working fuse compartment, located at the rear of the drawer.

3.Remove the failed fuse and replace it with the spare fuse.

Caution

If there is no spare fuse the LX-300 has experienced a fuse failure previously. Contact LCS Series technical support for further instruction: the unit may be performing abnormally and may require advanced technical servicing.

4.Close the fuse drawer and plug in the power cable.

5.Power on the LX-300, and observe the System LED and Frame Status displays. A detailed description of the boot process is provided in the LX-300 Start Up Routine (p. 7).

6.Within four seconds of power-on, the System LED must display and remain solid green (except after the first all-indicators-on test, when it will momentarily flicker red). Wait for the LX-300 to finish booting.

The system has successfully booted with the Frame Status shows an animated "-OK-" message and the Status LED displays solid green.
