have a ground pin, a suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire should be grounded properly. To prevent the risk of shock or fire hazard, always be sure that the mixer and all other associated equipment are properly grounded.

2a FUSE

The unit is AC power line fuse protected from overloads and fault conditions with a slow-blow 5 x 20mm 250V fuse. This fuse is located within the cap of the fuse enclosure just to the left of the ON-OFF switch. If the fuse fails, THE FUSE MUST BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME TYPE AND VALUE IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND TO PREVENT VOIDING THE WARRANTY!

The fuse in the PV® 1215D can be replaced with a time-delay type 5 x 20 mm size 250V rated fuse.

For 100-120VAC operation, a fuse rated at 6.3 amps should be used. In the USA, types GDC, GMC, 215, 218, and 477 cartridge-style 5 x 20 mm size fuses with a 6.3 amp 250V rating can be used.

For 220-240VAC operation, a fuse rated at 3.15 amps and 250V should be used, which conforms to the international fuse classification "T3.15AL".

If the unit continues to blow replacement fuses, do not keep replacing them- it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.

To replace the fuse, be sure to remove the IEC power cord from the IEC socket (2).

Remove the cap to the fuse enclosure (2a) using a flat blade screwdriver tip inserted into the fuse cap slot. Push the cap in and turn the cap CCW and pull the cap out. The blown fuse should come out with the cap. Remove the blown fuse and replace it with the proper type per instructions previously supplied. Then, once the new fuse has been put in place, re-insert the fuse enclosure cap, push in and turn the cap CW, and make sure it is fully seated. Before re-attaching the IEC power cord to the IEC socket, make sure the Power switch is in the OFF position, so that intermittent contact of the IEC cord while it is being connected will not unduly stress the amplifier or the fuse. Now re-attach the IEC power cord, and you can then use the Power switch to turn the unit on.
