Power Requirements
The ST-133 Controller can operate from any one of four different nominal line voltages:
100, 120, 220, or 240 VAC. Refer to the Fuse/Voltage label on the back of the ST-133
for fuse, voltage, and power consumption information.
The plug on the line cord supplied with the system should be compatible with the line-
voltage outlets in common use in the region to which the system is shipped. If the line
cord plug is incompatible, a compatible plug should be installed, taking care to maintain
the proper polarity to protect the equipment and assure user safety.
The power module contains the voltage selector drum, fuses and the power cord
connector. The appropriate voltage setting is set at the factory and can be seen on the
back of the power module.
Each setting actually defines a range and you should select the setting that is closest to the
actual line voltage. The fuse and power requirements are printed on the panel above the
power module. The Power Module contains two fuses. The two fuses are of different
values and both change according to the value of the selected line voltage as indicated on
the back panel.
The correct fuses for the country where the ST-133 is to be shipped are
installed at the factory.
If you need to replace a fuse or change the voltage selection, refer to Appendix D,
page 80, for instructions.
Be sure to use the proper fuse values and types for the controller and camera to be
properly protected.
