FAQ

FAQ

1. Can the AEI 2000 run on 240V? Yes, the AC Controller circuit is rated for 240VAC. The DC supply the end user chooses to use to run the control logic of the board should also be rated for the correct, local AC voltage.
2. What is the warranty of your products? Parts and labor of all devices have a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase.
3. Are your devices UL or CE approved? As UL and CE ratings apply primarily to end products, the AEI 2000 controller board would be impossible for us to certify without knowing what it would be designed into or what it would control.  However, design provisions have been made to meet standards including leakage tests and AC voltage isolation.  Leakage tests have been made and pass standard CE/UL requirements. The separation of the AC circuitry from the DC circuitry is .051" which is applicable for most UL requirements. Feel free to contact us for consultation during your approval process.
