Notes:
- D4 value could require some adjustment in order to allow precise switching of the schema at the chosen voltage. If the case, please try values in the 8.2V - 15V range.
- Warning! The schema is connected to 240Vac mains, then some parts in the schema board are subjected to lethal potential! Avoid touching the schema when plugged and enclose it in a plastic box.
