Chapter 4: Maintaining the PowerStation

Performing Internal Maintenance

Replacing the Fuse

The PA PowerStation has a protective fuse that you can replace by opening up the back cover. An ohm meter is required to see whether the fuse is open or closed. The required fuse is listed below.

Use a Littlefuse Nano SMF Slow Blow Type fuse. The part number is R452 002.

Caution: Using a fuse that is rated differently than indicated, can cause damage or fire to occur.

To replace the fuse, complete the following steps:

1Remove the PowerStation from its enclosure then open the PowerStation as discussed on page 4-6.

2Locate the fuse on the board according to the picture below.

3Use an ohm meter to see if the fuse is open or closed.

If open, use a pair of needle nose pliers to lift the fuse from the fuse holder.

If closed, the fuse is okay and there is no need to replace it.

4Insert the new fuse into the fuse holder and reassemble the unit.
