3. Setup

AC Power

The Swarm 5 FX has 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 product's power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and
wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product's back panel, or refer to the product's
Technical Specifications. The listed current rating indicates the product'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 the risk of electrocution or
fire.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use
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. Disconnect the product from power.
2. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
3. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
4. Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.
5. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.
