Hi Tack,

According to Page 6 of the ACOM 1010 User Manual
<http://www.acom-bg.com/sites/default/files/manuals/ACOM%201010%20Manual.pdf>:
"If your line voltage is not 240 V, you must contact your dealer for
instructions on how to change the voltage selector inside the amplifier."

Also on Page 17:  "Primary Power: 85-132 V/170-264 V ac (100, 110, 120,
200, 210, 220, 230 & 240 V nominal taps), +10% -15% tol.), 50-60 Hz, single
phase, 1200 VA."

Maybe the wrong tap is selected?

73,
Bob, N6TV
