MAINS CONNECTIONS
Your Limiter has been factory set to the correct mains voltage for your country. The voltage setting is marked on
the serial badge, located on the rear panel. Check that this complies with your local supply.
To change the MAINS FUSE. The MAINS FUSE may be checked by first disconnecting the IEC mains cord
from the power supply’s power inlet plug. Then gently push and rotate counter-clockwise the black fuseholder
cap located next to the IEC power socket. The fuse and cap should spring outward toward your fingers. The fuse
is a glass or white ceramic thing with silver end-caps. Inspect the mains fuse for the proper rating; change if
necessary. Refer to the fuse rating chart in the specifications section of this manual. If you do not know what a
blown fuse looks like, you may measure for continuity across the fuse ends. If your meter reads “OL” when you
measure across the fuse, that means “Open Leads” and that would mean the fuse is blown. A blown fuse usually
indicates A Very Bad Thing occurred. If this has happened to you, try to figure out why it may have happened.
(Using a Fast Blow fuse when we have specified a SLO-BLO fuse is one reason.) If you have no idea why a fuse
might have just blown on its own, you might want to consult with Manley Labs or your dealer for further advice
as Something Very Bad might have occured, like the power transformer might have decided to retire early.
One way this could happen is by running the wrong mains voltage into the unit. Be sure not to do that.
If you live in a strange place...
Export units for certain markets have a moulded mains plug fitted to comply with local requirements. If your unit
does not have a plug fitted the coloured wires should be connected to the appropriate plug terminals in accordance
with the following code.
GREEN/YELLOW EARTH terminal
BLUE NEUTRAL terminal
BROWN LIVE terminal
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the
terminals in your plug proceed as follows;
The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by
the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter N
or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter
L or coloured RED.
DO NOT CONNECT/SWITCH ON THE MAINS SUPPLY UNTIL ALL OTHER
CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE.
Note: This unit has been factory wired for your country. If you plan to take the unit to
countries with a different mains voltage you will need to send the Limiter to Manley Labs
for the correct power transformer - or use AC voltage converters.
