Voltage Regulator
Model: VR1208R (120V, 60Hz Input, Output)
Install your voltage regulator indoors, away from excess moisture and 
heat, direct sunlight, and dust and other conductive contaminants.
For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 0º C and 40º 
C (between 32º F and 104º F ).
Leave adequate space around all sides of the voltage regulator for proper 
ventilation.
Connect your voltage regulator directly to a three-wire, grounded AC 
power outlet. Do not remove or modify the ground pin of the voltage 
regulator’s plug. Do not use adapters that would eliminate the voltage 
regulator’s connection to ground. 
Do not use extension cords between the voltage regulator and the AC 
outlet. If necessary, a Tripp Lite surge suppressor may be used between 
the voltage regulator and the AC outlet. 
Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this 
equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life 
support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness 
is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a 
flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
