•
Verify that the input voltage is correct with a voltmeter before you connect it to the unit. The
red tag attached to the machine specifies the correct input voltage for your particular unit.
•
Earth ground must be provided to the unit. Do not use conduit to provide this ground.
•
Follow your local electrical codes and regulations for minimum wire size and routing.
Follow this procedure to connect incoming power to the control unit.
1.
Determine the input power to be supplied to the control unit.
2.
Route incoming power wiring through a conduit hole on the bottom right of the enclosure
Use 14 AWG stranded copper wire.
Maintain a gap of at least ½ in. from low voltage wires.
Leave enough loose wiring to allow the board to be moved without having to disconnect wires.
(Generally, 8 in or 20 cm is sufficient.)
3.
Connect the GROUND wire to the safety ground terminal located on the right inside of the chassis.

using wire nuts or other certified connectors. Set the thermostat to no higher than +20 C (degrees F).
WARNING.
Setting the thermostat higher than body temperature may create a burn hazard.
WARNING.
Setting the thermostat excessively high may result in equipment damage.
