AC Power (Freedom Flex Case)

The Freedom Flex Case is 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 case’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the case’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the case’s average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid th e risk of electrocution or fire.
To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non­use 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. Using a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
2. Remove the blown fuse.
3. Replace with a fuse of the same type and rating.
4. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.
Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.
