and gently lowering the door.

Power Supply Adapter
An AC power supply adapter (120/240 VAC / 50/60 Hz) is included with the CIRAS-3. If mains power is
available the system can be operated continuously using the power supply adapter. This same adapter is
also used to charge the internal battery packs. You must use the power supply adapter supplied by
