Can an owner of GS12000 Xenon tell me if the label of the rear cover where there is the serial number indicates more than one voltage indications?

For example on my standard GS1200 I read 110,115,220,230,240 volt 50 & 60 hertz

On my PCOM GS1200 I read only 220,230,240 Volt 50 & 60 Hertz

What about European and Usa GS1200 Xenon ?

Thanks

220, 230 and 240 are the European version and the 110,115 and 120 are for Japan, USA etc.

Obviously the multi-version is for worldwide.

On the specific versions the tapping is changed on the mains transformer as follows:

P1= 220/110 P2= 230/115 P3= 240/120

Normally the machine shows only one voltage (unless its the multi-version) and the transformer will set to the right tap.

Here in the UK they tend to show as being just 240V 50HZ and the transformer will have the mains going in on tapping P3.
In the rest of Europe they show 220V 50HZ with the mains going in on tapping P1.

Hope that answers your question.

HI Kevin

thanks for your answer but one thing it's not clear to me yet...

Are you saying that inside the transfomer can always be set to the voltage you want choosing at least between three values?
Is this true even if on the label there is indicated only ONE value for voltage?
If I have understood on your Xenon you have on the label 240 volt 50 hertz, but inside you can also move the connection from tap3 to tap1 and have it operating to 220 volt? Is this what you mean?

Thanks
Flavio
