[GreenKeys] Rectifier voltage question...

I think it's 120 VDC nominal.  I can't read the input voltage spec, is it for a 
lower line voltage like 110 VAC like they used to use? Is there a voltage tap 
for wiring for low/high line voltage?  I don't think 137 will give you any 
issues so long as the right resistance is in the loop to make the proper loop 
current.  This is not exactly a regulated supply anyway, and it doesn't need to 
be if the line voltage doesn't wildly change.
