Level Mode -

The type of switch used is dependant on how

the operator wishes the Hi/Low feature to function:

By ap12 VDC voltage to the Violet wire for

less than 1 sec., the power supply is “latched” into low power operation.
The unit must be turned off and then back on to restore normal, Hi
power operation.

Ap12 VDC voltage to the Violet wire for more

than 1 sec. holds the power supply in low power mode until voltage is
removed.

EXAMPLE:

If you are using the YELLOW, WHITE, & WHITE/

BROWN function wires, the total amp draw is

ou

7.5 amps.

Multiply this by 1.25 which comes out to 9.375 amps. Y
must fuse the RED power wire at 10 amps.

To use the chart below: After determining which function
wires you will use, add up the amp rating of each function
wire. You must then multiply this by 1.25 (see warning)
and fuse the RED power wire at this rating.
