Hi there,

One of the High-Inrush outlets on the digital powerbar quit on me. Is there any way to try and troubleshoot/fix this myself? It was controlling a single 250 watt magnetic ballast.

The indicator light comes on and I can hear the switch "click" but there is no power to the outlet itself.

There are fuses in the powerbars with inrush current protection.
Maybe this fuse is blown - replace it with exactly this type.
For a test you can simply use a fuse from another socket. Please refer to the powerbar manual.

Thanks for the reply Matthias,

Turns out it is the fuse. Any idea where I can get replacements?

please contact Aqua Digital for a original fuse from GHL

Thanks

Is there any reason I couldn't just go to an electronics store like radio shack or something and get an 8 amp fuse from them?

Hi,

you can do this if you want. But: Please make sure that it's exactly the same type (8A, 125V, time-lag, UL/UR or CSA certificated!).
And we made once the experience that there are fuses available which become very hot. Our fuses are high quality fuses and have a minimum power dissipation.

If technical datas are ok and the fuse doesn't become too hot -> go to an electronics store.

Thank you Matthias,

I am planning on grabbing a full set of GHL fuses from aquadigital. I just want to get this up and running again as quickly as possible!
