For all 1336 REGEN Line Regeneration Packages, a separate 120VAC 
user power supply is required.
Hazards of electrical shock exist if accidental contact is made with parts 
carrying bus voltage. Before proceeding with any installation or 
troubleshooting activity , allow at least one minute after input power has 
been removed for the bus circuit to discharge. Bus voltage should be 
verified by using a voltmeter to measure the voltage between the DC+ 
and DC– Converter Output Terminals.Do not attempt any servicing 
until bus voltage has diminished to zero volts.
Electric Shock can cause injury or death. Remove
