Installation

Connecting AC Power
The MSSTAC6 accepts an AC supply voltage from 94 to 135 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
The MSSTAC6-220 accepts an AC supply voltage from 94 to 265 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Using the connector supplied connect to the AC supply as in the diagram below. Use 16 AWG wire for
Line (L) and Neutral (N). Use 14 AWG for Earth Ground (G).
Care should always be taken when working with high voltages.
In regions where the single-phase supply is higher, an auto transformer can be used to drop the voltage
to the correct level.
