What is the difference between an AS-16040-M and an AS-16040-US? Also, what is the correct wiring of the terminals. There are 3 wires. Hot, neutral, and lamp.

My guess is that the internal auto strike has been removed on the US version and it is 120vac rather than 240

I have manual on this one, let me know if you need or check in manual section if there is one. Don't know on US version, but one's I worked has internal relay for striking.

Thanks guys. Going through the manuals here I finally found a lamphouse with the 16040 ignitor. It didn't say the difference between the US and M version though. It did say the terminal. #1 Neutral, #2 Hot, #5 Lamp+. Both versions are 120Volts.
