This equipment requires the correct AC 
line voltage as set by the manufacture 
and is not auto sensing or scaling.

 

 

Use a three-wire grounding-type line cord 
like the one supplied with this product. 

 

Be aware that different operating voltages 
require the use of different types of line 
cords and attachment plugs. 

 

Check the voltage in your area and use the

plugs and switched and 
unswitched outlet plugs 

 

 

This equipment should be installed near 
the socket outlet and disconnection of the 
device should be easily accessible. 

 

To completely disconnect from AC mains,
