RECONNECT PROCEDURE

Multiple voltage machines are shipped connected to the highest input voltage listed on the machine's rating plate. Before installing the machine, check that the Reconnect Panel in the Input Box Assembly is con- nected for the proper voltage.

CAUTION

Failure to follow these instructions can cause immediate failure of components within the machine.

___________________________________

To reconnect a dual or triple voltage machine to a dif- ferent voltage, change the position of the leads or links on the Reconnect Panel based on the type of machine. Follow The Input Supply Connection Diagram located on the inside of the Case Back Reconnect Panel Access Door.
