Determining Line Frequency
The TWRF1 is designed to operate on either 50 or 60 Hz. Usually the TWRF1 is shipped for 60 Hz
operation, unless otherwise ordered. The TWRF1 can be set for either ac line frequency by selecting
50 Hz or 60 Hz on SW3 on the control board on the inside front door.

Voltage Changeover
On occasion, customers may wish to operate a TWRF1 SCR Power Controller on line voltages other
than what was specified when originally ordered. The TWRF1 may be changed to accept a wide
range of line voltages (120, 240, 400, 480, 575 Vac), so long as the load current does not exceed the
TWRF1’s current rating. This is accomplished by performing the procedure described below.
.
Using the system schematic (located in the Appendix) as reference, perform the voltage changeover
procedure as follows.
1. Open the SCR power controller, and locate transformer T1. The primary side of T1 transformer
will contain two wires (one black, the other white and black). Refer to figure 2.3.
Figure 2.3 T1 Transformer Connections
2. Unsolder the Black/White wire on T1 from the voltage tap, and resolder it to the tap desired, as
shown in Table 2.2. Route the wires so that they are physically located under the transformer
terminals.

3. Close the unit, and apply line power. The unit is now ready for operation on the line voltage
selected. It is a good idea to identify the unit with a label or tag, noting that TWRF1 has been
modified for line voltage other than what it was specified for. This may prevent accidental use on
an incorrect line voltage in the future.
WARNING
Voltage changeover should be performed by qualified personnel only.
Always remove power and properly lock out power to the unit before
attempting any service.
