Can someone that can eyeball these please tell me what blower speed and filament voltage I'm set to?
The schematic shows pin 1 black, pin 5 white for 240 BUT not on the filament termial its not accoring to the charts.

The chart shows for 240 pin 1 black pin 4 white
that seems to me to be set at 252-265 which is too low for my 240 line

Also the fan appears to be on low with brown on pin 2

Just wanted a second or third opinion.

I think my white should be on pin 5 and brown blower at least on medium, pin 4


High voltage transformer looks ok

thanks

According to the 1st chart you posted,
Lug 1=Black and Lug 5=White is the setting for 252-265V.
Lug 1=Black and Lug 4=White would be 240-252V. (Factory Setting)
Lug 1=Black and Lug 4=White with the Brown wire on Lug 5 and Lug 6=Purple wire would be blower speed High. (Factory Setting)

If I move the brown wire from pin 2 to pin 4, the blower slows down. Pin 1 it speeds up. Seems backwards to me...I think the diagram with voltage to 252-265 is another revision other than mine. I think the diagram I added in post #2 is correct for my 1200. Very confusing, not a big deal but its good to get more eyes on it.

I think this manual is correct for me, in that case its wired 240 and medium blower which is fine.
