While the MAINS SWITCH (4) is switched off firmly push in the plug of the original ELINCHROM mains cord into the socket (1).

2. FUSE

Standard type 5 x 20 mm, 16 AT (tempered). Before exchanging a blown fuse, switch off the unit and remove mains cable. Depress and turn the fuse holder anti-clockwise 1/8th and remove it.

If the new fuse blows immediately upon reconnection return the pack to an ELINCHROM service centre for a check-up. (N.B. Check correct value of the fuse : 16 AT).

From then on, the power pack requires a check up by a technical Elinchrom service.
