USER MANUAL

Thank-you for purchasing this Wychwood Audionics F3 MDU

 please read this manual carefully before use

The F3 lite is equipped with surge protection and EMI/RFI filtration to protect
you and your equipment. Its hard-wired design, star-earthing, filtered
power, high current ability and grounded alloy enclosure also ensures your
system always sounds its best!

It is a simple device to use – you will require a 13 amp fused IEC-terminated
power lead (“kettle lead”) to provide power - we recommend and can
supply Supra’s LoRad screened mains leads.

Any audio device can be plugged-in to the F3 using power leads equipped
with a UK 3-pin mains plug. Each such lead must have a properly rated fuse
for the appliance connected; your equipment manufacturer can advise on
the appropriate rating. Each connected device should be switched-on
individually once the F3 is live.

The maximum safe load connected to the F3 should not exceed 3500 Watts
/ 16 Amps. For reference a typical hifi system will draw between 200-1000
Watts / 1-4 Amps

Surge: The F3’s surge protector is live as soon as
it is plugged in and switched on at the wall. It is
working as long as the indicator light is lit.
If the light is extinguished it has reached the end
of its life and you should contact us to arrange
replacement.
The F3 will continue to work in the meantime,
but surge protection will be disabled.

EMI/RFI Filter: This is a 16 Amp rated passive device with full
3-way protection against conducted and radiated mains
noise. It requires no maintenance and will last a lifetime.

Sockets: these are unswitched,
earthed, 13 Amp UK 3-pin
types with a strong
polycarbonate structure.
As with all plastics these can
become brittle in sub-zero
temperatures, so please use
carefully in such conditions.

Power Inlet: Standard C14 10 Amp IEC type.
Materials comments as above.

Enclosure: This is a star-earthed anodised
aluminium alloy extrusion. Anodised metalwork can
be scratched by sharp items, so please treat carefully.
