Fuses
The ET3 has two power transformers each of which is protected by
a fuse. These fuses (F1 and F2) are located on the main pc board
near the transformers. There is also an ac mains fuse (F3) located
in the ac mains inlet socket on the back of the unit. A failure of any
of these fuses is a symptom of a more serious problem, and a
competent service technician should be consulted. In no event
should a fuse be replaced with a value or type different than that
originally supplied. Correct fuse values are:
If configured for 100 or 120V:
F1 3AG type 3/4 amp, slow blow
