1.6.6 

Step 6a:  115/230 VAC Wiring Option 

This configuration allows the Base Station to be powered by the power line that feeds the rectifier.  

NOTE:

  

Units delivered from the factory are configured for this power option

A.  Connect  #14 AWG electrical hook-up wire (black 

– line; white – neutral) to the AC input 

connector J7 on the Base Station (see photo below). 

B.  Make sure that the black and red 115/230 volt selector switch (SW1) located directly above the 

J1 connector is set for the AC voltage being connected. 

C.  Set the HI/LO Input Voltage select switch (SW2) to the 

AC IN

 position. 

NOTE:  The HI/LO Input Voltage select switch (SW2) can be used as an on/off switch.  If the High 
Voltage AC input is being used, the user can switch SW2 to select LO input voltage and external 
power will be removed from the board. 

D.  Run the hook-up wires through the liquid-tight fitting on the bottom of the RMU case and 

through liquid-tight flexible conduit to the circuit breaker panel. 

E. 

Knock out a ½” NPT hole in the circuit breaker box and install a straight or right angle ½” liquid-
tight fitting.  

NOTE:  The RMU shall be mounted in close proximity to the circuit breaker box so that it is 
within easy reach of the operator.  

 

F.  Connect the AC wiring to the appropriate circuit breaker (5 Amp max rating) in the circuit 

breaker box.   

The breaker shall be marked as the disconnecting switch for the Base 

Station.

 

NOTE:  DO NOT

 install a ground wire between the circuit breaker panel and the RMU.  The RMU must 

be isolated from AC earth ground.  The RMU enclosure and circuit board are non-metallic and do not 
need a safety ground. 

G.  Once again, make sure that the 115/230 Volt selector switch on the Base Station circuit board is 

in the correct position prior to applying live voltage to the unit. 

 

 

High voltage AC:   
Connect 115 or 
230 VAC using 14 
AWG wire at J1 

Low voltage 
AC or DC: 
Connect low 
voltage AC or 
DC at pins 1 & 
2 of J2
