3.SETUP
Fresnel Lens
This Fresnel lens produces a very even light that is soft at the edges, which makes the
COREpar 80 USB a 2-in-1 light. Attach the Fresnel lens easily with the built-in magnets.
AC Power
The COREpar 80 USB 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
(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
non-use 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
1. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
2. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse of the exact same
type and rating.
4. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.
Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.
