with a 117" (2971.8 mm) low voltage outlet cord terminated with a
barrel connector for attachment with a mating jack located in the
dispenser. The power supply is equipped with an interchangeable
standard 2 pole NEMA plug intended for direct mounting into a
standard 120V NEMA duplex outlet. For warranty purposes, it is
required that the power converter must plug into an AC outlet that
is not accessible to the dispenser user. If not available, consult
a licensed electrical contractor. The power supply output is to
be routed through the mounting wall as a low voltage, energy
limited circuit, similar to a thermostat wire, with no requirement
for electrical box or attachment strain relief. Use only the power
supply supplied with this unit. Any substitution could damage the
unit and will void any warranty.
