SETUP
3. SETUP
AC Power
The Wash FX Hex has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input
voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the product’s power
requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current
value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the
product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the
product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
- Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
- To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of nonuse completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit,
even if the
rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
Fuse Replacement
- Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
- Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
- Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.
- Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.
Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.
