What is the setpoint range for a FRC-20 Variac motor control that is configured for limited range?

When the controller is set for limited range then the full range of the setpoint or potentiometer signal will be the upper 1/3 of the range.

1) If the FRC-20 is configured for 0-150V then the setpoint signal range will be approximately 100-150V.

2) If the FRC-20 is configured for 0-300V then the setpoint signal range will be approximately 200-300V

3) If the FRC-20 is configured for 0-600V then the setpoint signal range will be approximately 400-600V.

Depending on the input voltage and the variable transformer used the full range of the FRC-20 may not be used.  For example a standard variable transformer has a 0-140VAC range.  The setpoint range will be 100-140V if settings for (1) above are used.
