The instrument must be checked and serviced by a qualified technician in the following cases:
o the power supply lead or connector is damaged in any way,
o an object or fluid has somehow got into the instrument,
o the instrument was exposed to rain,
o the instrument stops working properly or starts to behave erratically,
o the instrument is knocked over or dropped and/or its case is damaged.
•
There are no user-serviceable parts in the instrument. Refer all repairs to
•
All eventual modifications must only be carried out by a qualified person who will follow the valid
safety instructions. Every modification should becarried out only at the manufacturer or an
authorized service company. Any modification not released by the manufacturer leads to the
extinction of the operation permission.
Connecting to the electricity supply
•
The system A-100 must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified at the back of the
A-100 frame.
•
The label next to the mains inlet tells the mains voltage that has to be used to operate the unit:
•
Until end of 2015 power supplies are used (A-100PSU2) which are manufacured for 230V (220 V -
240 V / 50 Hz) or 115V (110 - 120 V / 60 Hz). In these cases the mains voltage is predetermined
in the factory and cannot be changed by the customer. Please connect the mains inlet only to the
mains voltage specified on the label at the rear panel !
•
From end of 2015 different power supplies are used (A-100PSU3). These are equipped with a wide
range mains voltage input (100 – 240V AC, 50-60Hz). Only the correct fuse has to be used. In the
factory the fuses for 230V are installed. The fuse for 115V is enclosed in a small bag.
•
If the unit does not work anymore please check if the fuse is blown before you return the unit for
repair !
•
If the fuse has to be replaced only the type of fuse specified at the back of the A-100 frame is
allowed. If another fuse is used the warranty is void and the A-100 may be damaged. The fuse is
located at the mains inlet on the back of the A-100 case. To replace the fuse one has to disconnect
the mains cable and remove the fuse holder (e.g. with the aid of a screw driver). The fuse holder is
a small black plastic part that is inserted into the mains inlet.
•
There is only one exception: in case of the A-100LC3 the fuse is located inside the case (small
green fuse holder on the pc board top left). The fuse value is 2.5A for all voltages because this fuse
is used for the secondary circuit.
•
