Voltage and Power Limit

When first starting up the product, check the setting of the OP.Hi
parameter (see the controller instructions) and compare it with the data
in section 10.0 towards the back of this manual.

If the power limit setting is incorrect for the voltage of the electrical supply, change it.
This must be done immediately if the setting of OP.Hi is higher than it should be.
