Park Air T6MC Controller

The Park Air T6MC controller operates from a low voltage dc input supply, or a standard mains ac input
supply. When using a mains supply, dangerous voltage is present on the rear panel ac connector and
within the equipment. For this reason, only suitably qualified personnel should install and maintain the
equipment.
