Hi,
I have now received my CM15A from USA and
are going to convert it to 220V.

I can either use a external transformer or exchange the
allready soldered transformer on the board !

I would prefer to change the transformer on the board
but I am affraid that the opto couplers will be damaged.

Any advice ?

I think an external 220:120V step-down transformer with a bypass cap is
safest. Otherwise, there are a few other components that you will need to
change.

There's a schematic at

if you don't already have it.
