PSU-1848 Power Supply Kit

220 VOLT OPERATION

For 220V operation, we need to connect the 2 primaries in series.

Connect the GRAY and VIOLET wires together.

220V is applied across the BLUE and BROWN wires.

220 VOLT OPERATION

For 220V operation, we need to connect the 2 primaries in
series.

Connect the RED and BLACK wire together (that are beside each
other… see diagram above). 

220V is applied across the outer RED and BLACK wires... (see
diagram above)

For Both 110V or 220V OPERATION

On the secondary side, we need to connect the RED and ORANGE
together. (this will be the center-tap wire CT). The center-tap wire
will connect to the CT pad on the PCB.

Connect the BLACK wire to AC1 on PSU PCB.

Connect the YELLOW wire to AC2 on PSU PCB.

For Both 110V or 220V OPERATION

On the secondary side, we need to connect the BLUE and GREEN
wires that are beside each other. (see diagram above…this will
be the center-tap wire CT). The center-tap wire will connect to
the CT pad on the PCB.

Connect BLUE wire to AC1 on PSU PCB.

Connect the GREEN WIRE to AC2 on PSU PCB.
