I did not know it was that simple... I had bought a NS5000 or 7000 a
number of years ago, but then had problems putting it into service due
to power supply issues (I would have had to spring for a different kind
of service at the panel in the office I was in, or, buy a 120-220V
upconverter at a small loss of efficiency).
