38  Cary Eclipse Fluorescence Spectrophotometer User’s Guide 
Fuses 
The Cary Eclipse spectrophotometer contains two fuses that are 
located at the back of the instrument. 
Replacing 
To replace a fuse: 
1  Disconnect the Cary Eclipse instrument from the power supply. 
2  Replace the blown fuse with one of the same type and rating, as 
indicated in Chapter 2. 
The fuses have a code marked on the cap (for example, T 3.15 AH 
250 V). This refers to the fuse characteristic (‘T’: time lag, ‘F’: fast-
acting), the current rating (‘x’: amperes), the braking capacity (‘H’: 
heavy, ‘L’: low) and the voltage rating (‘y’: volts). 
NOTE 
Fuse information on the rear of the instrument is the most up-to-date. 
 
WARNING 
 
 
 
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards 
To prevent reduced safety protection or unwanted fusing, always ensure 
that the code on the fuse cap matches the information printed next to the 
fuse holders.
