Fuse Replacement – for WBK18
CAUTION
Turn OFF the power to, and UNPLUG the WBK18 module and all connected equipment.
Remove all signal I/O lines from the unit. Electric shock or damage to equipment can result
even under low-voltage conditions.
Take ESD precautions, to include using a grounded wrist strap.
Use care to avoid touching board surfaces and onboard components. Ensure boards do not
come into contact with foreign elements such as oils, water, and industrial particulate.
You should only replace a fuse if your device shows no sign of damage. If your device appears
damaged such as evidenced by a “smoked” component, contact the factory as soon as possible.
If the replacement fuse blows, contact the factory as this indicates a problem may
exist with your WBK18 module.
