General Notes Electrical requirements are 230VAC nominal +/- 10% depending on chosen model. However, running continuously at voltages outwith this is not recommended. Extended periods at extremes can have a detrimental effect on the operation and life of the Generator. The Teflon tube supplied in the fittings kit is to allow the generator to be installed adjacent to the instrument it is supplying.
