Product Installation

Power Supply

Use the attached power cable. Ensure the power voltage and frequency match the device's requirements. Each device's power should be connected separately for individual control.

The unit uses a standard power connection with a fuse rated at 250V~ 1.6A.

DMX Connection

Connect laser lights and DMX controllers using a shielded cable with a diameter of at least 0.5mm. Use the provided 3-pin XLR plug/socket for DMX input/output.

Diagram Description:

• DMX-OUTPUT: Shows XLR mounting sockets (rear view).
