Warranty:
All Tortech transformers come with a 1 year warranty. Please keep your
invoice with date of purchase as proof of warranty. No serviceable parts
inside the unit. Opening or misuse will void warranty. Return for authorised
servicing.
Overloading: Fuses in the transformer will “blow” if you draw more current
than what the transformer can provide. They are part of the inbuilt safety
protection of our transformers. If you keep blowing a fuse repeatedly after first
purchase you may have the wrong transformer, please call us to check your
device and transformer rating.
Fuse replacements:
All our stepdown transformers come with 2 spare fuses in the original
package. Please put the fuses aside when you first open box.
How do I know fuse is blown?
If your transformer has a Led Light on the switch and if this light does not
come on when transformer is turned on this is an indication the fuse has
blown.
HOW TO REPLACE THE FUSE:

1) Turn off the power at the 240v power point and unplug the lead from the
power point.
2) Unscrew the fuse Holder
3) Turn it anti-clockwise until the fuse "pops out"
4) Remove the fuse holder plus the fuse
5) Check if that the fuse is intact : Look at the removed fuse in the light and if
the inside filament is broken or the glass is browned out then the fuse is
blown.

8) Turn the fuse holder clockwise until its locked in
9) Plug in the lead into the power point.
