6. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Meiyue 24V DC Power Supply:
- Identify Device Requirements: Ensure your device requires a 24V DC input and its current draw does not exceed 6A (144W).
- Connect DC Output:
- For devices with a 5.5mm x 2.1mm or 5.5mm x 2.5mm DC jack: Plug the DC output connector of the power supply directly into your device's DC input port.
- For devices requiring bare wire connection (e.g., some LED strips): Use the included LED DC Connector (terminal block adapter). Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires from your device to the corresponding terminals on the adapter. Then, plug the adapter into the power supply's DC output.
- Connect AC Input: Plug the US power cord into the AC input port of the power supply.
- Plug into Wall Outlet: Insert the US plug of the power cord into a standard AC 100-240V wall outlet.
- Verify Operation: Once connected, your device should power on or indicate power reception.
