The company hopes this product will serve you well for a long time. 1.1—Product Overview The Chameleon auto-selects the input voltage (120 VAC or 230 VAC / 50 or 60 Hz) and provides a controlled output selectable voltage (120 VAC or 230 VAC / 50 or 60 Hz) for universal power standards.
• Over-temperature shutdown 1.1.3—Watchdog Feature The Chameleon Watchdog feature is a sentinel circuit on the input that monitors voltage levels and stability. When a power source is connected to the Chameleon, the unit senses the incoming voltage and automatically sets the internal input circuits for the proper voltage range.
