The plug shown in the picture is a 6-20P which is used for 240V.
A 5-20 plug would have the horizontal blade on the other side.
As I stated earlier in this thread the amp is only fused for 12amps when running 120v so it is not drawing a lot of current. So an easy way to check how the amp is wired is to look at the fuses.
12 amp fuses = 120v
8 amp fuses = 240v
However don't know if the breakers in the firehouse are 20 amp or still 15 amp so a seperate circuit would be best.

If its wired for 110V do we need to have a special outlet installed or do you just use an adapter? Also, how much current does the amp draw? Does it pull more than a standard 15amp circuit can provide?
Thanks and 73,
