Where is the AC fuse located on the SLI-80

Noted. Thanks

A lot of battery backups have some outlets that are for battery backup, and a few that are not. The ones that do not are only for surge protection. So really you can get all you want in only one box.

What occured to me - and correct me if my logical reasoning is off - is that if I buy an UPS which comes with a strip which has battery backup and another strip which only has spike protection, I can connect my amp to the "spike protection" side and my other components on the battery backup side. I think that might work.

sfar & millercarbon: you-all made me laugh. You are right about the lightning; I was thinking more about spikes and brown-outs, which are quite common in our part of FL.  Notwithstanding, I will take your advise and "unplug" when necessary. Thanks again for your help.

I didn't mean to imply that a surge protector might not be useful, it might protect your equipment when the power comes back on after a power outage. 

millercarbon is correct. A lightning bolt with the power to jump 10,000 feet from a cloud to the ground is not going to be impressed with your UPS/surge protector. Unplug your gear and anything electrically connected to it when you hear thunder.

If you get hit by lightning, good luck with the UPS.

Oh my.... good call. I would have never found it. At my age I needed a magnifying glass to see the darn thing.  THANK YOU very much.

If I may ask another question: Is it a good move to get a UPS to "protect" the amp from spikes and brown-outs? We live in Florida with lots and lots of lightning activity.

Look for a pop out panel on the IEC connector (they are usually located on the back/outside).

In amps with one fuse it should be located close to the incoming power and before the power transformer. So look for the IEC, follow the wires...

The pdf manual I found didn't say anything about removing a bottom cover. Sometimes the fuse is incorporated into the IEC. Look real close at the IEC (from the outside) there's a version with a tiny slot, small flat blade screwdriver just fits, pull it out.

Its one or the other. Should be able to find it. It is a tube amp, after all.
