Kentinada Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Anyone know of a fuse in 2456D3 LampLinc? I think I burned mine out by have a 600W load on it. Or is the device just shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian H Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yes the 2456D3 Lamplinc has a internal fuse. 600 watts is about five amps and would blow the fuse. It has bare wire leads with shrink tubing insulation. One wire lead soldered to a terminal lug screwed to the Line Input Terminal and wire lead soldered to the circuit board. There where two different circuit boards that I have seen in the 2456D3 Modules. Revisions 2.? and 4.?. The fuse is easier to see in the 2.? revision versions. I have blown one myself but didn't write down its value. I know it looks like a 5 mm X 20 mm fuse with leads and is a slow blow type. 3 amps sounds vaguely familiar. If I find more data I will post it. If you remove the old one and peel off the shrink tube. It will be marked. Most may think of it as not a user replaceable fuse. Unless you are electronically inclined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentinada Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 I had the V4.3 variety and I couldn't see a thing that resembled a fuse when I opened it up so I ended up replacing it. Lesson learned for sure. Don't overload! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian H Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 It has a piece of black shrink tubing on it and would have been screwed directly to the AC Line Pin. One of the versions I have looked at was a V4.3. My oldest V2.0 has a 5S4A 250 pig tail fuse in it. I have a feeling they may have changed it to a lower amperage one but can't verify that. This is a 3 amp version used in the older 2000SC basic X10 Lamplinc. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Lit ... SxM1cF0%3d How long was the extra load being driven? A slow blow fuse usually take 1 hour at 135% of rating and 5 seconds to 1 minute at 200% of rating. It is not normally a user replaceable part. Though most electronic technicians and hobbyists. Could probably change one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
