Actuslly, the second relay looks more like a line voltage
selector. It will close for line voltages below 180VAC.

It looks like this unit isn't power factor corrected.


If that's the case, then you could do a quick fix by
relocating the voltage select relay to the inrush
position, short out the old voltage select relay
contact position, then place a large sticker on
the back indicating "100-130VAC INPUT ONLY".
