Vac 1/ph is to be connected. For a 115 volt connection
a minimum of 108 V 1/ph and a maximum of 122 V 1/ph
is to be connected. If below or above, a buck-boost
transformer should be installed to maintain proper
voltage. This input voltage should be checked at

cases voltages may vary from the load in the area
during dierent times of day.
