1.1 Installation Environment
1. The Allied Electronics NeXGen Controller (NeXGen) operates on 115 VAC @60Hz,
36 Watts. The NeXGen controller is supplied with approximately 8 feet of 115 VAC
power cord, and should be connected to an approved isolated ground receptacle on
its own dedicated circuit. The NeXGen must be installed in a temperature controlled
environment (between 32
0
F and 100
0
F).
2. The controller must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code
(NFPA 70), the Automotive and Marine Service Station Code (NFPA 30A), and all
