The J-Box comes wired for 120Vac and has a 2m
(6ft 7in) SJT 3-conductor power cord attached.
Plug the cord into a dedicated 24-hour,
unswitched outlet.
If the box is to be driven by 240Vac, then the
power cord (if used) and jumpers across the
primary winding of the transformer within the box
will have to be changed (Figure 6).
CAUTION: Use only regulatory-approved
polarized power cords.
Hardwiring the J-Box
If the box is to be hardwired to the ac source, then
the chassis within the box and the power cord will
have to be removed to facilitate connection. Refer
to Figures 5, 6, and 13 for how to remove these
parts.
CAUTION: Keep the disconnect device (circuit
breaker) readily accessible when hardwiring
J-Box.
Do the following:
1. Unplug line cord from ac outlet.
2. Loosen two screws, then slide and lift PC
board assembly to remove and access ac
connections (Figure 5).
