Fuse Replacement
DBK34A contains four MINI ATO fuses that can be replaced by the user. Note that you should always
check your unit for blown fuses prior to sending it back to the factory for repair. This could save you time
and money.

DBK34A, Fuse Location Reference
To replace a fuse:
1. Disconnect the DBK34A from loads and from supply power.
2. Remove the DBK34A’s cover plate. This requires the removal of 4
screws (2 per side).
3. Examine the fuses (F1 through F4) to see which, if any, have blown.
Note that you can usually see the blown element through the fuse’s
transparent casing.
4. Replace the blown fuse with the appropriate replacement fuse (see
preceding table). Note that the fuse value is present on top of the fuse;
also, the fuses are color coded as an aid to identification.
5. Replace the DBK34A cover and secure with screws (removed in step 2).
