  • The electric feed shall be 220VAC single phase through an independent line of conductors of AWG N° 10 (6mm); there shall be ground connection and a thermo-magnetic switch of 30A to be used exclusively for the elevator. The electrical supply is to be near the head (elevator’s top portion) and it is required to leave the female electrical receptacle at the top center of the elevator.

  • 220VAC (no exceptions 220VAC must be provided, 210VAC or 230VAC is not acceptable, if installation does not have 220VAC on a regular basis, a voltage regulator or transformer must be installed by home owner). Voltage fluctuations are not covere by the warranty.

  • If installing a phone line a phone jack is to be provided near the power supply, but isolated.
