2. SAFETY AND COMPONENT PLACEMENT 
 
This chapter lists safety precautions for use when operating the PARSTAT 4000; please 
read them. There are suggestions for system component placement and information on 
possible RF interference and transient sensitivity. 
2.1. Safety Considerations 
2.1.1. Line Voltage Settings and Fuses 
 
The PARSTAT 4000 has a Corcom™ Power Entry Module on the left side of the rear 
panel.  The Corcom module (pictured below) contains the power connector and two line 
fuses.    The  PARSTAT  4000  automatically  detects  the  correct  line  voltage  and 
frequency, so there is no line voltage changes required in the Corcom. 
The PARSTAT 4000 is supplied with the line voltage fuses in place, as well as extra 
fuses supplied with each unit. For fuse replacement: 
 
  For 100 – 120 Vac line voltages, use a 8.0 A T (slow-blow) fuse (Littlefuse® type 
213, 5 x 20 mm or equivalent). 
 
  For 220 - 240 Vac line voltages, use a 4.0 A T (slow-blow) fuse (Littlefuse® type 
213, 5 x 20 mm or equivalent). 
 
Caution:  Do not use makeshift fuses or short-circuit the fuse holders 
 
 
NOTE: The PARSTAT 4000 requires 
20s between power-off and power-
on.  If the main power switch is 
cycled off-on shorter than this 20s 
duration, the main voltages to the 
electronics will not be applied, and 
the system will not power up 
properly. This delay enhances the 
overall reliability of the internal 
power supply and the system as a 
whole.
