are located on the left hand side of the unit just behind
and below the ON/OFF circuit breaker.
4. Remove the two knockouts by inserting a philips screw
driver into the hole in the center of the knockout and
prying out and downward.
5. Insert the two black plastic bushings (supplied) into
the knockout holes in the Ultima 150 Power Supply
base.
6. Place the Ultima 150 Power Supply on top of the Transformer Module so that the front of the power supply
is oriented in the same direction as the two terminal
blocks inside the Transformer Module. The front of
the power supply should be directly above the two
terminal blocks.
